Federal Grant Award Summary

Miami-Dade County's Controller Division received a $285,073 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. This award supports the county's efforts to establish and operate CoC program projects designed to address homelessness within the Miami metropolitan area. The funding may be allocated across eligible program components including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing initiatives, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) infrastructure.

The CoC Program grant enables Miami-Dade County to advance community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by providing rapid rehousing for homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. Eligible activities under this award encompass CoC planning activities, fiscal control and accounting functions, acquisition and rehabilitation of structures for housing or supportive services, new construction, leasing, rental assistance, operating costs, and comprehensive supportive services. As a continuation of the county's substantial involvement in federal homelessness initiatives, this award complements Miami-Dade County's existing portfolio of housing and community development grants totaling millions of dollars across multiple HUD programs.
