Federal Grant Award Summary

Volunteers of America of Florida Inc. received a $1.41 million 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) for the period July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. This funding supports the organization's efforts to address homelessness in the Tampa, Florida region through eligible CoC Program activities, which may include permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing for homeless individuals and families, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) planning and operations.

The CoC Program funds enable Volunteers of America of Florida Inc. to provide comprehensive housing and support services designed to quickly rehouse homeless populations while minimizing trauma and dislocation. Eligible activities under the award may encompass housing acquisition and rehabilitation, leasing and rental assistance, operating costs, case management, benefits navigation, outreach services, and temporary financial assistance. The organization's use of CoC funding aligns with the program's broader objective of promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and optimizing self-sufficiency among vulnerable populations, including very low-income families and individuals experiencing homelessness.
