Federal Grant Award Summary

The County of Stanislaus received a $263,385 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period January 1 – December 31, 2026. The CoC Program funds community-wide efforts to address homelessness through permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems (HMIS). As the designated United Funding Agency (UFA) for this award, Stanislaus County Auditor-Controller Division provides fiscal control, accounting functions, and oversight necessary to ensure proper disbursement and accounting of federal funds to subrecipients participating in the county's coordinated homeless response system.

This award supports the county's efforts to minimize trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness while promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness in the Modesto area. The funding enables Stanislaus County to coordinate multiple service providers and nonprofit organizations in delivering rapid rehousing assistance, emergency shelter operations, street outreach, and supportive services to homeless individuals and families. The county's prior CoC Program awards totaling approximately $184,000 have established infrastructure for coordinating these efforts across the region, including partnerships with local community organizations to serve vulnerable populations experiencing homelessness.
