Durham Hosts Workshop for Continuum of Care Grant Funding


DURHAM, N.C. - Durham is hosting a workshop for representatives of organizations interested in applying for grants in the 2017 Continuum of Care (CoC) Homeless Grants Competition.

The workshop will be held on Tuesday, April 11 at 2 p.m. at the City's Community Development Department, located at 807 E. Main Street, Building 2, Suite 200. The workshop will review how CoC funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) may be used to help fund short-term and permanent housing for homeless persons and families, and how to use a secure ZoomGrants website to submit required qualifying documents to the City's Community Development Department.



Due to limited space, pre-registration is required and interested organizations may send a maximum of two representatives to the workshop. It is also strongly recommended that one of the representatives attending this workshop be from the organization's fiscal staff. To pre-register, organizations should email the names of their representatives by April 10 to Project Manager Lloyd Schmeidler<mailto:Lloyd.Schmeidler at durhamnc.gov> with the City's Community Development Department. Organizations that have not pre-registered may not be admitted to the workshop.



The City's Community Development Department serves as the Durham CoC's lead agency, staffing the collaborative effort to address homelessness and facilitating the development of the community's annual CoC grant application to HUD. Information about HUD's Continuum of Care program is available at the HUD Exchange<https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/coc/>. For more information about Durham's Continuum of Care Program, visit the website<http://www.durhamopeningdoors.org/tools-for-change/continuum-of-care/> or contact Schmeidler at (919) 560-4570, ext. 22267.
