Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded A Safe Haven Foundation a Project Grant of $496,092 under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. This award supports the establishment and operation of housing and supportive service projects in Chicago, Illinois, designed to end homelessness within the community. The CoC Program funding may be deployed across five primary components: permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention activities.

A Safe Haven Foundation, a Chicago-based nonprofit organization with extensive experience in HUD homelessness programs, will utilize these funds to deliver eligible services including housing acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction, leasing, rental assistance, operating costs, and wraparound supportive services. The organization's CoC portfolio demonstrates a sustained commitment to serving very low-income individuals and families experiencing homelessness, complemented by its concurrent behavioral health and veteran services programming. The award supports the organization's community-wide collaborative efforts to minimize trauma and dislocation while promoting self-sufficiency among homeless populations.
