Federal Grant Award Summary

The Georgia Housing & Finance Authority received a $511,774 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 June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2027. This award supports the Authority's efforts to address homelessness and housing insecurity across Georgia by funding five core program components: permanent supportive housing for individuals with disabilities and rapid rehousing initiatives; transitional housing; supportive services only; Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS); and homelessness prevention activities.

The funding enables the Georgia Housing & Finance Authority to establish and operate housing and support service projects, which may include acquisition and rehabilitation of real property, new construction, rental assistance, case management, job training, and operational costs. Through collaboration with nonprofit service providers, local governments, and public housing agencies, the Authority uses these federal funds to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families—including youth and persons fleeing domestic violence—while minimizing trauma and dislocation, and promoting access to mainstream resources and self-sufficiency outcomes in the Atlanta metropolitan area and throughout the state.
