Grant Award Summary

The State of Connecticut Department of Housing received a $569,666 Project Grant from the U.S. 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 provides funding to establish and operate projects designed to address homelessness through five program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention activities.

Under this award, the Connecticut Department of Housing will deliver eligible CoC services that may include planning activities, real property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental assistance, case management, operating costs for homeless facilities, and fiscal administration support. These activities support the state's broader effort to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. The department will coordinate with nonprofit service providers and local governments to implement these federally-funded initiatives across Connecticut.
