The Homeless Services Network of Central Florida is soliciting proposals for new projects for the agency’s 2009 Continuum of Care application to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Approximately $1 million in new funding may be awarded through this process.  In order to ensure that HSN’s application is competitive with HUD national goals, projects will be given priority:

Local Continuum of Care priorities include:

  • Permanent supportive housing for chronically homeless individuals
  • Transitional housing for homeless households with children.
  • Implementation of homeless prevention center operations to serve an underserved area of the Continuum of Care

Eligible Applicants: Any unit of government or organization with a 501 (c) (3) in Orange, Seminole, or Osceola Counties may submit a proposal to provide SHP eligible services to people experiencing homelessness.
