Federal Grant Award Summary

The Georgia Housing & Finance Authority received a $2.09 million 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 May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027, supports the Authority's efforts to establish and operate housing and supportive services projects across Georgia designed to address homelessness and housing insecurity.

Under this award, the Authority delivers services across five program components: permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing for individuals with disabilities; transitional housing; supportive services only; Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) infrastructure; and homelessness prevention activities. Eligible uses of funds include CoC planning activities, property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental assistance, case management, job training, and operating costs for these housing and service initiatives. By implementing these services in collaboration with nonprofit providers and local governments, the Authority aims to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma, promoting access to mainstream resources, and advancing self-sufficiency among vulnerable populations across the Atlanta metropolitan area and broader Georgia service region.
