Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded the Georgia Housing & Finance Authority (GHFA) $1,257,788 under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) on May 1, 2026, for a performance period through April 30, 2027. GHFA functions as the lead recipient and distributes funding to subrecipient nonprofit service providers, including 3Keys, Inc., Caringworks, Inc., Highland Rivers Community Service Board, Avita Community Partners, Circle of Hope, Oconee Center, and the City of Carrollton Housing Authority. The funding supports the delivery of permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, case management, job training, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) infrastructure to address homelessness and housing insecurity across Georgia.

The grant supports eligible CoC program activities including acquisition and rehabilitation of structures for housing or supportive services, new construction, leasing, rental assistance, operating costs, supportive services, and CoC planning activities. These efforts align with the CoC Program's overarching mission to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation for homeless individuals and families, and to optimize self-sufficiency among persons experiencing homelessness through access to mainstream programs and supportive services.
