Federal Grant Award Summary

Mental Health & Addiction Services Connecticut received a $222,899 Project Grant 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 July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The award supports the organization's efforts to address homelessness in Hartford, Connecticut by funding eligible activities designed to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation.

Under the CoC Program, the awarded funds may support one or more of five 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. As a state government entity within the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, the organization leverages this funding to deliver comprehensive services including case management, housing assistance, peer support, and mental health treatment to vulnerable populations experiencing or at risk of homelessness, thereby advancing the program's goal of promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness.
