Summary of Federal Project Grant Award

The People Concern received a $123,577 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by providing funding for nonprofit providers to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. Eligible activities supported under this award include 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), and homelessness prevention activities in certain cases.

The People Concern will utilize these funds to support comprehensive social services addressing homelessness in Los Angeles, California. Based on the organization's established service portfolio, this funding supports activities such as CoC planning, case management, housing stabilization services, life skills training, mainstream benefit linkage, and operational costs for housing and supportive service projects. The organization's wraparound services approach includes transportation assistance, income maintenance support, and advocacy to help homeless individuals and families achieve housing stability and self-sufficiency.
