The Tier 2 Continuum of Care (CoC) grants are designed to build on the funding the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded through a first round of grants the city received in March aimed at efforts to quell homelessness in parts of Philadelphia.
The 115 new housing units will be erected at various locations across the city. They build upon the exiting 194 existing permanent and transitional housing units that were put in the during the first round of federal grants.
