The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded $2.260653 million to Mental Health & Addiction Services Connecticut under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) on August 1, 2026, for a period of performance through July 31, 2027. Work is performed in Hartford, Connecticut.

Mental Health & Addiction Services Connecticut, a Connecticut state government entity within the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, serves as the recipient and administers Continuum of Care funds statewide. The program funds eligible costs to establish and operate projects under five components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, homeless management information systems, and homelessness prevention. Thirteen types of assistance are permissible, including planning activities, fiscal control and accounting for disbursals to sub-recipients, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, and new construction.

Mental Health & Addiction Services Connecticut functions as a fiscal agent, distributing funds to local treatment clinics, residential facilities, shelters, and housing programs throughout Connecticut. The organization holds a substantial portfolio of HUD Continuum of Care awards, anchoring its mission around rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems across Connecticut communities.
