State of Florida Challenge Grants provide funding for CoCs to fill the gap where other grants cannot be used due to more restrictive federal regulations. The Challenge Grant provides an opportunity to serve those that do not meet the strict eligibility requirements of the grants received from Federal sources. It also provides an opportunity to fund programs that are outside of the limitations of Federal funding. Some examples include programs to divert individuals from homelessness and other supportive programs to support the acute health, mental health, transportation, and educational needs of those experiencing or at risk of becoming homeless.
