Summary: Ruby's Place Continuum of Care Program Award

Ruby's Place, operating as Restorative Pathways, received a $1,538,553 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) for the period of June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027. As a survivor-led, nonprofit victims services agency headquartered in Castro Valley, California, Ruby's Place will utilize these funds to provide comprehensive housing and supportive services to vulnerable populations experiencing homelessness, including individuals and families fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The award supports the organization's established track record of delivering trauma-informed, culturally responsive services designed to promote rapid rehousing and self-sufficiency.

The CoC Program funding will support eligible activities across five program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. Ruby's Place will deliver these services through various eligible cost categories including case management, operating costs, rental assistance, and real property acquisition or rehabilitation. This award represents continued HUD investment in Ruby's Place's multi-year CoC efforts, which have totaled over $7 million across fiscal years 2021-2026, reinforcing the organization's role as a key provider in addressing homelessness and housing instability in the Castro Valley and greater Alameda County region.
