Summary of Federal Grant Award

Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami, Inc. received a $326,000 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267). The award was obligated on April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2027. Located in Lazy Lake, Florida, the organization will utilize these funds to support activities designed to address homelessness in the Miami metropolitan area through one or more of the program's five eligible components: permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing for persons with disabilities, transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention initiatives.

The Continuum of Care Program funds Catholic Charities' efforts to establish and operate projects that provide comprehensive support to homeless individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency and minimizing the trauma associated with homelessness. Eligible activities under this award may include facility acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, leasing and rental assistance, operating costs, supportive services such as case management and mental health services, HMIS development, and CoC planning activities. Catholic Charities' experience delivering transitional and permanent supportive housing, combined with its established partnerships with state and local agencies, positions the organization to effectively execute this community-wide effort to end homelessness in the region.
