Federal Grant Award Summary

The Tundra Women's Coalition received a $125,781 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The CoC Program funds eligible activities to address homelessness through five primary components: permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The award supports the organization's operations in Bethel, Alaska, serving the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region.

The Tundra Women's Coalition, a nonprofit organization specializing in domestic shelter services and victim support for Alaska Native communities, will utilize these funds to support its established mission of providing emergency and transitional housing, crisis intervention, and culturally specific supportive services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. The organization's work under this grant emphasizes linguistically appropriate and culturally relevant services tailored to meet the unique needs of rural and remote western Alaska communities, particularly those fleeing domestic violence, sexual assault, and other interpersonal violence situations.
