Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded $542,405 to Fresno County Economic Opportunities Commission (Fresno EOC) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The CoC Program funds community-wide initiatives designed to end homelessness by supporting the rapid rehousing of homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness.

Under this award, Fresno EOC delivers comprehensive homelessness prevention and intervention services across five primary 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. Eligible activities include CoC planning and coordination, fiscal control and accounting through unified funding agency functions, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, and new construction of housing facilities. These services support vulnerable populations experiencing or at-risk of homelessness in Fresno County, California, while promoting access to mainstream support programs and optimizing self-sufficiency among individuals and families served.
