Project Grant AL0087L4C062515

The Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded the Tuscaloosa Housing Authority $103,534 under the Continuum of Care Program on September 1, 2026, under a Special Notice of Funding Opportunity addressing unsheltered and rural homelessness. The award runs through August 31, 2027, with performance taking place in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), eligible activities funded through this award include permanent supportive housing, rapid re-housing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and coordinated entry. Because this project qualifies under the rural set-aside, the award may also fund up to six months of rent or utility arrears following two months of nonpayment, short-term emergency lodging in motels or shelters, repairs up to $10,000 per structure necessary to make housing habitable for transitional or permanent housing, emergency food and clothing assistance, costs associated with federal inventory property programs to house homeless individuals and families, and capacity building activities. The Continuum of Care Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness, provide funding for nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation, promote access to mainstream programs by homeless persons and families, and optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness.
