Federal Grant Award Summary

Mental Health & Addiction Services Connecticut received a $784,412 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), awarded May 1, 2026, with completion by April 30, 2027. The CoC Program provides funding to support community-wide initiatives designed to end homelessness by quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation.

Under this award, Mental Health & Addiction Services Connecticut may deliver services across 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. Eligible funded activities include CoC planning, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property, new construction, rental assistance, case management, operating costs, and other direct support services. As a state government entity with extensive experience administering federal homelessness prevention and behavioral health programs, the awardee is positioned to coordinate comprehensive services addressing the complex needs of Connecticut's homeless and at-risk populations.
