Federal Grant Award Summary

The County of Santa Clara's Housing & Development Department received a $767,798 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The award, obligated on July 1, 2026, with a completion date of June 30, 2027, funds eligible activities designed to end homelessness through rapid housing placement and support services. The CoC Program supports five core program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS).

Under this award, the county administers funding for CoC planning activities, unified funding agency fiscal administration and accounting, acquisition and rehabilitation of structures for housing or supportive services, new construction of housing facilities, leasing and rental assistance, operating costs, and direct supportive services to homeless individuals and families in the San Jose metropolitan area. These activities align with the broader CoC program goal of promoting community-wide commitment to homelessness prevention while optimizing self-sufficiency among persons and families experiencing housing instability. The award represents part of the county's substantial HUD grant portfolio, which encompasses $88.3 million in total obligations across multiple affordable housing and homelessness programs.
