Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded The Thresholds a Project Grant of $629,811 under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) effective June 1, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2027. The Thresholds, a Chicago-based nonprofit organization specializing in behavioral health and housing services for individuals with mental health and substance use challenges, will utilize these funds to support homelessness prevention and intervention activities. The CoC Program supports activities across five eligible components: permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS).

Under this award, The Thresholds will provide comprehensive services designed to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. Eligible activities funded through this grant may include case management, mental health and substance use treatment services, employment support, assistance with public benefits applications, and related supportive services. The organization's established expertise in serving vulnerable populations—including individuals with serious mental illness, veterans, and those experiencing homelessness—positions it to effectively implement CoC Program objectives of promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and optimizing self-sufficiency among homeless individuals and families.
