Federal Grant Award Summary

The Georgia Housing & Finance Authority received a $169,584 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 April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027, supports homelessness prevention and housing assistance initiatives in the Atlanta, Georgia area. The CoC Program enables the Authority to deliver comprehensive services addressing homelessness and housing insecurity through eligible activities including permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) operations.

Through this funding, the Georgia Housing & Finance Authority collaborates with nonprofit service providers, local governments, and public housing agencies to implement community-wide solutions designed to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. Eligible uses of funds encompass program planning, property acquisition and rehabilitation, rental assistance, case management, job training, and operating costs. The Authority's Housing Policy and Administration Division leverages the grant to promote access to mainstream resources and facilitate self-sufficiency among vulnerable populations experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity across Georgia.
