The federal government, through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), provides a substantial portion of funding for homeless services in our region. In fact, the vast majority of public dollars used to support our most vulnerable neighbors is allocated through a HUD funding process called the Continuum of Care Program.
Along with the rest of the country, the Greater Richmond Continuum of Care (GRCoC) is situated in a time of risings rents, inflation, low rental market vacancy rates, potential evictions, and a decrease in affordable housing.
