Federal Grant Award Summary

Miami-Dade County received a $1,790,930 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The award funds the establishment and operation of projects designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness.

Under this award, Miami-Dade County through its Controller Division delivers services across five primary program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing initiatives, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). Eligible activities funded through this grant include planning and collaborative processes for application development, fiscal control and accounting functions, acquisition and rehabilitation of structures for housing and supportive services, new construction, leasing, rental assistance, operating costs, and direct supportive services. These coordinated efforts are intended to optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness while promoting access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs.
