The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded Kentucky Housing Corp a Project Grant of $171,194 under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. This award supports the organization's efforts to address unsheltered and rural homelessness across Kentucky by funding eligible housing and supportive service activities, which may include permanent supportive housing (PSH), rapid rehousing (RRH), transitional housing (TH), supportive services only (SSO), coordinated entry functions, street outreach, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS).
