The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded Community Renewal Team, Inc. $806,981 under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) on May 1, 2026, for activities through April 30, 2027. The CoC Program supports nonprofit providers in establishing and operating projects 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. Community Renewal Team, Inc., a Hartford, Connecticut-based community action agency, uses these funds to deliver comprehensive services addressing housing stability, economic self-sufficiency, and community support for homeless individuals and families, veterans, and low-income populations.

The award funds eligible activities including CoC planning and coordination, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs. As a recognized leader in serving vulnerable populations—particularly homeless veterans and low-income families—Community Renewal Team, Inc. leverages this funding alongside complementary federal support (including Department of Veterans Affairs grants and SAMHSA funding) to provide integrated case management, housing assistance, benefit support, and outreach services that minimize trauma and promote self-sufficiency among those experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
