Federal Grant Award Summary

A Safe Haven Foundation received a $226,792 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), effective 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 address homelessness within the community. The funding may be applied toward eligible program components including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and planning activities.

The Continuum of Care Program promotes community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by providing federal funds to nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. Eligible costs under this award may support real property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, leasing and rental assistance, operating costs, and direct supportive services. A Safe Haven Foundation, a Chicago-based nonprofit specializing in permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, and rapid rehousing for homeless and very low-income veteran populations, will administer these funds in collaboration with local partners to advance self-sufficiency and access to mainstream programs for persons experiencing homelessness.
