Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Collective, Inc. received a $1.11M 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. Through its Supportive Housing Works division, the organization delivers comprehensive housing and supportive services to homeless and at-risk populations in the Bridgeport, Connecticut area. The grant funds eligible activities across five CoC 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 services.

Specific products and services provided through this award include rental assistance, case management, housing relocation and stabilization services, and access to mainstream resources designed to promote self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness. These services minimize trauma and dislocation while supporting collaborative efforts with local government agencies and community partners to advance the goal of ending homelessness in the region. The CoC Program's structure allows The Housing Collective to establish and operate projects with eligible costs encompassing planning activities, real property acquisition and rehabilitation, construction, and operational support necessary to deliver housing and supportive services to vulnerable populations.
