Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded Prudence Crandall Center, Inc. a Project Grant of $527,827 under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The CoC Program supports nonprofit providers in establishing and operating comprehensive homeless services in New Britain, Connecticut. Under this award, Prudence Crandall Center will deliver eligible 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.

Specifically, the Center will utilize grant funds to support operational costs, case management, rental assistance, and related eligible activities designed to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. The organization's recurring receipt of CoC Program grants demonstrates its established effectiveness in serving vulnerable populations, including persons experiencing domestic violence and youth ages 24 and younger. These services align with the federal program's core objective of promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and optimizing self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing housing instability.
