The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $596,357 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) grant to the Georgia Housing & Finance Authority on March 11, 2025. The grant funds will be used to support the organization's efforts to provide a range of housing and supportive services to address homelessness in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
Key activities to be performed under this Project Grant include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. Specific services may encompass case management, job training, mental health and substance abuse treatment, rental assistance, and other comprehensive social support designed to help vulnerable individuals and families experiencing homelessness achieve self-sufficiency. The grant aims to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness, as measured by indicators such as length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing.
