Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded $4,028,377 to Mental Health & Addiction Services Connecticut (a state government entity) on May 1, 2026, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). This award, with a performance period through April 30, 2027, supports the state's efforts to address homelessness in Hartford and surrounding areas through funding for eligible housing and supportive service components.

Under this CoC Program grant, Mental Health & Addiction Services Connecticut will 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) to track and coordinate services, and homelessness prevention activities. Eligible uses of funds encompass CoC planning activities, case management, rental assistance, property acquisition and rehabilitation for housing or supportive services, operating costs, and other assistance designed to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation, ultimately promoting self-sufficiency among vulnerable populations experiencing homelessness.
