The Chester County Department of Community Development (DCD) was recently awarded more than $2 million in fiscal year 2023 Continuum of Care (CoC) Competition Awards by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The CoC funds are allocated for projects with a commitment to and goal of ending homelessness.

The funds will be split among Open Hearth Inc., Human Services Inc., and Holcomb Associates Inc. to be used for a total of 12 projects. Community members benefiting from these efforts will include individuals with disabilities and people who are chronically homeless.

The DCD serves as the CoC on behalf of Chester County.
