Federal Grant Award Summary

The County of Fresno received a $680,105 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) for the period January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The CoC Program provides funding to support community-wide efforts to end homelessness by quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families while minimizing associated trauma and dislocation. Award funds support eligible activities including 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 in certain cases.

The County of Fresno, through its County Administrative Office, will utilize these funds to establish and operate projects under the CoC Program's core components in Fresno, California. Potential uses of award funds include planning activities, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, new construction, operations and maintenance of facilities, supportive services delivery, and administration through a United Funding Agency (UFA) to ensure proper fiscal control and accounting of federal funds distributed to subrecipients. These activities collectively support the program's overarching objectives of promoting self-sufficiency among homeless populations and optimizing access to mainstream support services within the Fresno County community.
