Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded Mental Health & Addiction Services Connecticut a Project Grant of $1.72 million through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the performance period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. This award supports the organization's efforts to establish and operate projects designed to end homelessness in the Hartford, Connecticut area while minimizing trauma and dislocation to homeless individuals and families.

Under this CoC Program award, Mental Health & Addiction Services Connecticut will deliver services across eligible program components, which may include permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). Eligible use of funds encompasses CoC planning activities, case management, rental assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property, and operating costs. As a Connecticut state government entity with extensive experience administering federal homelessness prevention and mental health services, the organization will leverage this funding to promote self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness and enhance access to mainstream community support services.
