The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded $191,994 to the Institute For Community Alliances on July 1, 2026, under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), a Project Grant.

The Institute For Community Alliances, a Des Moines, Iowa–based nonprofit, will deliver activities under one or more of five program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) operations, and homelessness prevention. Eligible costs include COC planning activities, United Funding Agency (UFA) fiscal control and accounting functions, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property, new construction, and related supportive services. The award funds work performed in Des Moines, Iowa, with a performance period through June 30, 2027.

The Continuum of Care Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and to provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation, promote access to mainstream programs, and optimize self-sufficiency.
