This $480,596 federal Project Grant award is provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The grant supports the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) in delivering a range of housing and supportive services to address homelessness in the Los Angeles area.
Key activities funded through this award include establishing and operating projects across five program components: permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. Specific eligible costs cover rental assistance, leasing, supportive services, operating costs, and administrative expenses. The award aims to decrease homelessness by reducing the length of time individuals and families experience homelessness, preventing returns to homelessness, and increasing exits to permanent housing. While sub-recipient activities are not specified at the time of the award, HACLA has a track record of collaborating with nonprofit organizations, public health agencies, and universities to deliver comprehensive housing and community development services to the city's most vulnerable populations.
