Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Indianapolis received a $257,069 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), effective June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027. The CoC Program funds comprehensive homeless services and housing initiatives designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation for individuals and families experiencing housing instability.

Through this award, the City of Indianapolis delivers services across five program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention activities. Eligible uses of funds encompass CoC planning activities, unified funding agency fiscal administration, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs. The city typically partners with local nonprofit organizations to deliver these critical services to homeless individuals and families, including persons fleeing domestic violence and youth ages 24 and younger, as part of HUD's broader national initiative that has obligated $26.9 billion across 83,905 project grants since 2011.
