The award supports the organization's efforts to address homelessness in the Savannah-Chatham County area through comprehensive housing and support services. As the lead agency for the local CoC, Chatham-Savannah Authority For The Homeless will utilize these funds to establish and operate projects focused on rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, transitional housing, and supportive services designed to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.

Through coordination with prime partners such as the City of Savannah and the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, the organization will administer tenant-based rental assistance, unified case management, and specialized initiatives such as the Project for Assisting and Transitioning from Homeless (PATH). The performance period extends from the award date through February 28, 2027, with activities based in Vernonburg, Georgia.
