BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:

The grant is designed to help grantees provide temporary housing stability or homelessness prevention assistance for victims of domestic violence, family violence, or dating violence and their dependents. The CSS Housing, Innovation, and Stabilization Services (HISS) Division will use these funds to help pay for short-term hotel/motel stays for clients who have exhausted their stay at the local shelters and are close to securing housing but need a temporary solution to bridge the gap. Funds will also help families living on the streets who are fleeing domestic violence and need help with rent, utilities, and/or arrears to secure housing. The one-time financial assistance available through this grant will be paid to registered vendors on behalf of eligible victims.

 

The award project period is July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025.
