Project Grant Award Summary

The County of Santa Clara, through its Housing & Development Department, received a $1,687,308 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 Program (CFDA 14.267). The award, obligated on May 1, 2026, and due for completion by April 30, 2027, supports the county's efforts to address homelessness in the San Jose metropolitan area through five core program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) infrastructure.

Under this award, the county administers funding to establish and operate housing and supportive service projects designed to quickly house individuals and families experiencing homelessness while promoting self-sufficiency and access to mainstream programs. Eligible activities include property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental and operating assistance, supportive services delivery, CoC planning and coordination, and unified funding agency fiscal administration and accounting functions. The award represents one of several concurrent CoC grants through which the county manages a portfolio totaling approximately $88.3 million in HUD funding across 60 prime awards, positioning the Housing & Development Department as a critical administrator of homelessness prevention and housing programs in Santa Clara County.
