Federal Grant Award Summary

The Georgia Housing & Finance Authority received a $680,868 Project Grant award 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), effective May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027. This award supports the Authority's statewide efforts to address homelessness and housing insecurity across Georgia through the delivery of permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) infrastructure.

The Authority functions as a lead recipient, distributing CoC funding to subrecipient nonprofit service providers and local government entities—including organizations such as 3Keys, Inc., Caringworks, Inc., Highland Rivers Community Service Board, Avita Community Partners, and others—to deliver direct housing and supportive services to homeless individuals and families. Eligible activities funded through this award include permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing programs, transitional housing operations, case management and supportive services, HMIS development and administration, CoC planning activities, and in certain cases, homelessness prevention assistance. The award represents one of multiple CoC grants the Authority manages as Georgia's designated lead recipient for homeless services coordination.
