Project Grant IL1714L5T112506

The Community and Economic Development Association of Cook County, Inc. (CEDA) received a $270,450 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The award was obligated on June 1, 2026, with completion targeted for May 31, 2027. Through this funding, CEDA will support HUD's mission to end homelessness in Cook County by delivering services aligned with the CoC Program's five eligible components: permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention activities.

As an established nonprofit community development organization, CEDA will utilize these funds to establish or operate projects that quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. Eligible activities under this award may include CoC planning costs, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, new construction, rental assistance, case management services, and operational expenses. Through this award, CEDA will advance its demonstrated commitment to serving low-income and vulnerable populations across Cook County while supporting the national goal of community-wide homelessness prevention and self-sufficiency.
