Federal Grant Award Summary

The County of Ventura received a $266,124 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026. This award supports the County's efforts to address homelessness in Ventura, California through establishment and operation of housing and supportive services projects. Funding may be allocated across five eligible 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 activities.

The award enables the County to implement comprehensive homelessness interventions designed to quickly rehouse individuals and families experiencing homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation. Eligible uses of funds include CoC planning activities, fiscal management and accounting through a United Funding Agency, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, new construction, and provision of various supportive services such as case management, mental health treatment, and employment assistance. These activities align with the CoC Program's overarching objectives to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and enhance self-sufficiency among vulnerable populations.
