Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Georgia Housing & Finance Authority received a $1,626,227 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). The award, effective May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027, supports the Authority's efforts to address homelessness across Georgia through comprehensive housing and supportive services delivered in the Atlanta metropolitan area and statewide.

Under this award, the Authority delivers five primary categories of services: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services (including case management and job training), and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). These services are designed to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families—including youth ages 24 and younger and persons fleeing domestic violence—while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. The Authority collaborates with nonprofit service providers, local governments, and public housing agencies to implement eligible activities such as rental assistance, case management, operating costs, and property acquisition or rehabilitation necessary to establish and maintain housing and support service facilities.
