Project Grant FL0950L4H002503

Community Assisted & Supported Living Inc. (CASL), a nonprofit organization based in Sarasota, Florida, received a Project Grant award of $267,403 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The award, effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, supports CASL's efforts to address homelessness within the community through eligible CoC activities. Based on CASL's track record and organizational mission, the funding is anticipated to support housing and supportive services for homeless individuals and families, with particular focus on vulnerable populations including persons with developmental disabilities and mental health challenges.

The CoC Program funds enable CASL to establish and operate projects across five program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention activities. Eligible use of funds under this award may include real property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental assistance, case management, operating costs, and planning and administrative activities. Through these funded activities, CASL works to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation, promoting community-wide strategies to end homelessness in the Sarasota area.
