Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Indianapolis received a $492,409 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). The award, effective June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2027, supports the establishment and operation of integrated homelessness services in Indianapolis, Indiana. Funded activities fall within five program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing; transitional housing; supportive services only; Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS); and homelessness prevention initiatives. Eligible costs under the award include CoC planning activities, real property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs.

The CoC Program funding enables Indianapolis to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation for homeless individuals and families. The city collaborates with local nonprofit organizations such as Horizon House, Adult & Child Mental Health Center, and The Salvation Army as sub-recipients to deliver comprehensive services. These coordinated efforts focus on quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families, optimizing self-sufficiency, and ensuring access to mainstream programs—addressing critical gaps in affordable housing and supportive services within the community.
