Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Collective, Inc. received a $457,000 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), effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The CoC Program funding supports the organization's Supportive Housing Works division in delivering comprehensive housing and support services to homeless and at-risk populations in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Grant funds are directed toward establishing and operating projects across five core program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS).

Through this award, The Housing Collective, Inc. provides eligible activities including rental assistance, case management, housing relocation and stabilization services, and access to mainstream resources designed to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. These services are delivered collaboratively with local government agencies and community resources to promote self-sufficiency and reduce homelessness within the Bridgeport community. The grant funds may also support planning activities, fiscal oversight through a Unified Funding Agency structure, acquisition and rehabilitation of properties for housing or supportive services, and new construction costs as permitted under the CoC Program guidelines.
