Project Grant MA0243L1T162518

The Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities received a $1,143,367 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's 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. As the designated Unified Funding Agency for Massachusetts, the awardee administers and coordinates CoC Program funding across the state to support initiatives addressing homelessness. The grant funds eligible activities including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) operations, along with CoC planning activities and fiscal control functions necessary to ensure proper disbursement and accounting of federal funds to subrecipients.

The program emphasizes community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by enabling nonprofit providers, municipalities, and local service organizations to quickly house homeless individuals and families while providing essential supportive services. Through sub-awards to implementation partners, the funding supports direct service delivery including rental assistance, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, job training, and housing counseling. The Executive Office maintains fiscal oversight and program coordination responsibilities while facilitating access to mainstream programs and promoting self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness across Massachusetts.
