Federal Grant Award Summary

Louisville-Jefferson County Metro Government received a $603,909 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) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The CoC Program promotes community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by funding efforts to rapidly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. The award supports activities designed to optimize self-sufficiency among persons experiencing homelessness and enhance access to mainstream programs.

The funding may be deployed across five primary 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 activities. Eligible uses include CoC planning activities, fiscal control and accounting functions through Unified Funding Agencies, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs for housing and supportive service projects. As a consolidated city-county government serving over 760,000 residents in the Louisville metropolitan area, the recipient will administer these federal resources to address homelessness through collaborative community-based initiatives in Kentucky.
