Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded Project Community Connections Inc. a $1,256,760 Project Grant under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. This award funds the establishment and operation of homelessness intervention and prevention services in Atlanta, Georgia, supporting the program's overarching objective of promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation experienced by homeless individuals and families.

Under this award, Project Community Connections Inc. delivers eligible services across five program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) support. The organization may utilize funding for COC planning activities, acquisition and rehabilitation of structures for housing or supportive services, new construction, leasing, rental assistance, operating costs, and direct supportive services. As a tax-exempt nonprofit, the organization leverages these federal resources in conjunction with partnerships, including with Mercy Housing Southeast, to expand affordable housing options and comprehensive supportive services for very low-income and homeless populations in the Atlanta area.
