Project Grant CA0825L9T002513

The County of Santa Clara's Housing & Development Department received a $7.78 million 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), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. This award funds the establishment and operation of housing and supportive services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness across the San Jose metropolitan area. Eligible activities under this grant include permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) infrastructure, as well as CoC planning coordination and unified funding agency fiscal administration.

The funding supports the County's comprehensive homelessness response strategy by enabling direct housing assistance, wraparound supportive services, and regional coordination mechanisms designed to minimize homelessness-related trauma while promoting rapid housing placement and long-term self-sufficiency. The grant continues the County's ongoing role as a prime recipient administering HUD's formula and project grant portfolio, with this specific award representing one of multiple concurrent CoC grants supporting the County's portfolio of permanent housing, rapid rehousing, and supportive services initiatives in the region.
