Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Columbus Alliance For Battered Women, Inc. (doing business as Hope Harbour) received a $165,325 Project Grant award dated June 1, 2026, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. The award period extends through May 31, 2027. Hope Harbour, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Columbus, Georgia, will utilize these funds to provide housing and supportive services to homeless individuals and families, with a particular emphasis on domestic violence survivors.

Under the CoC Program, Hope Harbour's award supports one or more of the program's five authorized components: permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention activities. Based on Hope Harbour's documented service focus and recent CoC awards, the funding will likely support emergency shelter, crisis intervention, legal advocacy, case management, and transitional or permanent housing assistance. These services align with the CoC Program's dual objectives of quickly housing homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation, and promoting self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
