Federal Grant Award Summary

Heartland Coalition For The Homeless, Inc. received a $177,052 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027. The organization, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Avon Park, Florida, utilizes CoC funding to deliver comprehensive homeless services across five program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS).

The grant funds eligible activities that address homelessness within the organization's service area, including emergency shelter operations, permanent housing placement, case management, mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment, and job training services. These services are designed to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation, promoting access to mainstream resources, and optimizing self-sufficiency among vulnerable populations. The CoC Program supports nonprofit providers, states, and local governments in achieving the federal goal of ending homelessness through community-wide collaborative efforts and evidence-based interventions.
