Federal Grant Award Summary

Mercy House Living Centers received a $357,732 Project Grant from the 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. The award supports the organization's delivery of comprehensive homelessness intervention and prevention services in Santa Ana, California, operating as a prime recipient within HUD's CoC network.

The grant funds five core housing and supportive-service components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing initiatives, transitional housing facilities, supportive services only (including case management, housing counseling, job training, and mental health and substance abuse treatment), and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) infrastructure. Additionally, the funding supports eligible activities such as acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing, rental assistance, street outreach, emergency shelter operations, and housing relocation and stabilization services. As a regional hub for southern California homelessness services, Mercy House collaborates with local jurisdictions to administer tenant-based rental assistance and coordinated entry systems designed to quickly house homeless individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency and access to mainstream programs.
