Federal Grant Award Summary

The State of Connecticut Department of Housing received a $2,582,017 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The award supports activities designed to end homelessness across Connecticut by funding five core 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 initiatives.

Under this award, eligible costs support diverse service delivery mechanisms including CoC planning activities, real property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs for housing and supportive services. The Department of Housing administers these funds through its Office of Finance and Operations, coordinating with nonprofit service providers, local governments, and state agencies to deliver housing solutions and supportive services to vulnerable populations experiencing homelessness, including individuals with disabilities, youth, persons with HIV/AIDS, and survivors of domestic violence. This funding enables the department to continue its role as Connecticut's primary state administrator of HUD housing assistance and community development programs serving low- and very low-income households across the state.
