Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded Poverello House a Project Grant of $700,655 under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. Poverello House, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Fresno, California, delivers comprehensive homeless intervention and housing stabilization services, including rapid rehousing, street outreach, rental assistance, case management, and housing stabilization support to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Fresno area. The award supports the organization's continued participation in the CoC Program's collaborative efforts to transition vulnerable populations to permanent housing and self-sufficiency.

This funding represents one of multiple CoC Program awards received by Poverello House, which collectively totaled approximately $9.8 million in federal obligations over the preceding five years. The organization operates across five CoC program components: permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). The award contributes to HUD's broader national initiative under the CoC Program, which has distributed $27.4 billion across 84,780 total awards since 2011 to support community-wide efforts aimed at ending homelessness.
