Continuum of Care Program Award Summary

The Housing Authority of DeKalb, Illinois received a $643,101 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027, supports the organization's efforts to address homelessness within its jurisdiction through established CoC program components including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing initiatives, transitional housing, and supportive services for homeless individuals and families.

The CoC Program funding enables the Housing Authority to establish and operate projects designed to minimize trauma and dislocation while promoting rapid housing placement and self-sufficiency among homeless populations. Eligible activities under this award may include property acquisition and rehabilitation for housing or supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) operations, CoC planning activities, and fiscal control functions necessary to administer federal funds to subrecipients. As a public housing authority and established prime recipient of HUD funding, the Housing Authority leverages this grant to expand safe, decent, and affordable housing options for vulnerable populations including homeless individuals, families with children, and elderly residents.
