Federal Grant Award Summary

Community Solutions For Children, Families And Individuals received a $1,033,908 Project Grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027, supports the organization's efforts to address homelessness in Gilroy, California through the establishment and operation of housing and supportive service projects designed to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation.

The funded activities fall within five primary CoC program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention initiatives. Eligible cost categories supported by this award include CoC planning activities, fiscal control and accounting functions, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs. Given the organization's demonstrated track record in providing comprehensive support services to vulnerable populations—including screening, crisis intervention, emergency shelter, and case management for at-risk youth and homeless individuals—this award enables continued expansion of these critical housing and supportive service programs.
