WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) today announced that housing facilities across West Virginia will receive a total of $5,938,355 under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program for projects with the goal of ending homelessness.

“As West Virginians, we have a history of coming together to help our friends and neighbors in need. This grant funding will help those in our state who are facing homelessness by providing financial support to help the Continuum of Care Program further its efforts,” said Senator Capito. “I am hopeful that this funding will help many West Virginians get back on a solid footing.”

“In West Virginia, we have a strong tradition of neighbors helping neighbors and we know the importance of helping those who have fallen on hard times,” Senator Manchin said. “West Virginians in need will have the opportunity to develop specific skillsets to help them reenter the workforce, provide for themselves and their families, and contribute to their communities. This funding ensures those who are struggling to get by, including children, seniors and Veterans, have a roof over their heads and have access to the resources and support they need to get back on their feet.”

The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is designed to promote communitywide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness by providing funding to organizations and State and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families and improve self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
