Federal Grant Award Summary

Mental Health & Addiction Services Connecticut received a $1,255,303 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 of April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027. The CoC Program funds efforts to address homelessness through five primary components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention initiatives. These services are designed to minimize trauma and dislocation while promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness.

Under this award, Mental Health & Addiction Services Connecticut will support eligible costs across thirteen categories of assistance, which may include CoC planning activities, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs. As a state government entity within Connecticut's Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, the organization will deliver comprehensive interventions targeting vulnerable populations including individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness, persons with disabilities, and those fleeing domestic violence or other trauma-related circumstances, in accordance with HUD's guidelines for program implementation and performance reporting.
