The Way Home developed the COVID CARES Housing Plan (CCHP) to support Houston’s most vulnerable residents impacted by COVID-19 – people experiencing homelessness. Through The Way Home a collaborative partnership was developed specifically to support CCHP, which includes: City of Houston’s HCDD, Harris County’s Community Services Department, and the Coalition for the Homeless of Houston and Harris County. Applications for Request for Expression of Interest (REI) from qualified agencies were accepted by the three partners in July 2020. Catholic Charities was one of the applicants recommended by the CCHP partners in the first round of funding.
This agreement provides funding from October 1, 2020 September 30, 2022. Catholic Charities began receiving grant funds for various activities through the City in 2003.
