Grant Award Summary

The Georgia Housing & Finance Authority received a $150,511 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), effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by funding nonprofit providers, states, and local governments in rapidly rehousing homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation.

Through this award, the Georgia Housing & Finance Authority provides comprehensive housing and supportive services across five eligible program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing; transitional housing; supportive services only; Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS); and homelessness prevention activities. Eligible uses of CoC funds include acquisition and rehabilitation of real property, new construction, rental assistance, case management, job training, CoC planning activities, and operational costs. The Authority collaborates with nonprofit service providers and local governments to deliver targeted, community-based solutions addressing housing insecurity and homelessness across the Atlanta metropolitan area and throughout Georgia, with the ultimate goal of promoting self-sufficiency among vulnerable populations.
