Project Grant FL0090L4H072518

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded $102,417 to the Homeless Services Network of Central Florida, Inc. through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. This Project Grant supports the organization's efforts to address homelessness in the Orlando metropolitan area by funding eligible activities under five program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention initiatives.

The CoC Program funds enable Homeless Services Network of Central Florida to provide comprehensive housing assistance and supportive services designed to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. Eligible uses of the award include CoC planning activities, fiscal control and accounting functions, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs. As a lead agency for homeless services in the region, the organization leverages this funding in collaboration with local partners including Orange County, the City of Orlando, and the Florida Department of Children and Families to deliver emergency shelter, housing relocation, stabilization services, and critical interventions for vulnerable populations experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
