Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The San Diego Housing Commission received a $6.17 million Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. This grant supports the delivery of comprehensive homelessness assistance services across five primary components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing programs, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). The funding may also support eligible homelessness prevention activities in specific cases.

The grant enables SDHC to finance the establishment and operation of projects addressing chronic homelessness in the San Diego region, including costs for acquisition and rehabilitation of structures for housing provision, new construction, rental assistance, operating expenses, and supportive services coordination. Additionally, the award funds essential program infrastructure including Continuum of Care planning activities, fiscal control and accounting functions through the Unified Funding Agency, and administrative costs necessary to ensure proper federal fund management and accountability. This funding leverages SDHC's role as a critical intermediary between federal housing agencies and the local San Diego community, furthering the broader federal objective of promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while optimizing self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing housing instability.
