Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Prudence Crandall Center, Inc., a nonprofit organization based in New Britain, Connecticut, received a $191,723 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 July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide efforts to end homelessness by funding activities that quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation.

Under this award, Prudence Crandall Center will deliver services across five eligible 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. Based on the organization's established track record with HUD, the Center will likely provide emergency shelter operations, permanent and transitional housing placement, case management, legal services, vocational training, and support services to homeless individuals and families, including those fleeing domestic violence. The grant supports the organization's mission of addressing housing instability and promoting self-sufficiency among vulnerable populations in the New Britain community.
