Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded Mental Health & Addiction Services Connecticut $305,114 through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The CoC Program supports efforts to end homelessness by funding eligible activities across five program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. These components may include planning activities, real property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs for housing and support services.

As a Connecticut state government entity specializing in mental health and addiction services, Mental Health & Addiction Services Connecticut will utilize this funding to provide comprehensive homelessness prevention and intervention services to vulnerable populations, including individuals experiencing homelessness and those at risk of homelessness. The organization leverages its statewide infrastructure and partnerships to deliver services aligned with the CoC Program's goal of minimizing trauma and dislocation while promoting self-sufficiency among homeless individuals and families throughout Connecticut.
