Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded Augusta-Richmond County Government a $106,248 Project Grant under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) effective January 1, 2026, with a completion date of December 31, 2026. This award supports the county's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma and dislocation associated with homelessness, consistent with the CoC Program's goal of promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness.

The funding enables Augusta-Richmond County Government to establish and operate projects across five eligible program components: permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing for persons with disabilities, transitional housing, supportive services only, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention activities. Permissible uses of the grant include planning activities, administrative costs through a United Funding Agency, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, new construction, and operation and maintenance of facilities. The award supports the county's broader strategy to optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness and promote access to mainstream support programs.
