Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The County of Santa Clara Housing & Development Department received a $1,705,794 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), awarded June 1, 2026, with completion by May 31, 2027. The CoC Program funds the establishment and operation of five program components designed to address homelessness in the San Jose metropolitan area: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) infrastructure.

Through this award, the County administers eligible CoC activities including real property acquisition and rehabilitation for housing or supportive services, new construction, leasing, rental assistance, operating costs for facilities, and direct supportive services. The funding also supports CoC planning activities, fiscal administration through Unified Funding Agency functions, and homelessness prevention efforts. As an entitlement community grantee, the County passes these funds to subrecipients providing direct services to homeless individuals and families while maintaining fiscal controls and compliance documentation required by HUD oversight standards.
