Federal Grant Award Summary

Miami-Dade County received a $790,571 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). The award, dated July 1, 2026, with a completion date of June 30, 2027, supports the county's efforts to combat homelessness through eligible CoC program activities. Under this grant, Miami-Dade County may utilize funds to establish and operate projects across five core program components: permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention initiatives. The grant also supports permissible CoC planning activities, fiscal control and accounting functions, and infrastructure costs including acquisition, rehabilitation, and new construction of housing or supportive service facilities.

As a large urban county serving over 2.7 million residents, Miami-Dade County has demonstrated substantial experience managing homelessness and housing initiatives through prior HUD awards, including multiple CoC grants, a $4.7 million HOME Investment Partnerships Program award, and $1.09 million in Emergency Solutions Grant funding. This award continues the county's comprehensive approach to addressing homelessness by providing flexible funding to support rapid rehousing, emergency services, and supportive programming designed to minimize trauma and dislocation while promoting self-sufficiency among vulnerable populations in the Miami metropolitan area.
