Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded The Thresholds a Project Grant of $3.65 million under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The CoC Program supports nonprofit providers in addressing homelessness through five primary program components: permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention activities. The Thresholds, a Chicago-based behavioral health and housing services nonprofit, will utilize these funds to establish and operate housing and support projects that serve individuals and families experiencing homelessness, including vulnerable populations such as persons with serious mental illness, veterans, and those fleeing domestic violence.

Through this award, The Thresholds will deliver eligible services across the CoC Program's thirteen authorized cost categories, which include acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing and supportive services, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operational expenses. The organization's activities will support the program's overarching goals of promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness, minimizing trauma associated with homelessness, facilitating access to mainstream programs, and optimizing self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing housing insecurity.
