Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded DuPage P.A.D.S Inc. a $677,542 Project Grant under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) effective February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2027. This funding supports comprehensive homelessness intervention and housing services delivered to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in DuPage County, Illinois. The grant enables the organization to operate programs across five core CoC components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services (including case management, housing counseling, job training, and mental health and substance abuse treatment), and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) operations.

DuPage P.A.D.S Inc. leverages this award alongside concurrent HUD CoC grants totaling approximately $4.39 million to sustain hotel-based emergency shelter facilities, an interim housing center in Downers Grove, Illinois, tenant-based rental assistance programs, and street outreach initiatives. The organization serves as both a prime grant recipient and sub-recipient on related CoC awards in collaboration with the County of DuPage and the Illinois Department of Human Services. These integrated services support the CoC Program's mission to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while optimizing self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing housing instability.
