Project Grant CT0059L1E052417

The federal Project Grant award of $1,088,052.00 to Community Renewal Team, Inc. (CRT), a non-profit organization based in Hartford, Connecticut, is funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The purpose of the CoC Program is to promote community-wide efforts to quickly house homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, and optimize self-sufficiency. CRT, as the award recipient, will utilize the funding to provide a range of eligible activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems (HMIS). The award is expected to contribute to decreases in the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the local community by supporting initiatives that address the length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing. While the specific sub-recipient activities are unknown at the time of the award, the funding will enable CRT to continue its established role as a significant provider of social services focused on addressing homelessness and supporting vulnerable populations in the Greater Hartford area.
