Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded $2,298,302 to the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (Commonwealth of Massachusetts) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by funding projects that quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. As the state-level housing authority administering this grant, the Executive Office serves as a coordinating entity that sub-awards funding to local implementation partners across Massachusetts.

Eligible activities under this award include permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing initiatives, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). The grant may also fund CoC planning activities, unified funding agency fiscal control and accounting functions, acquisition and rehabilitation of structures for housing or supportive services, new construction, leasing and rental assistance, operating costs, and direct supportive services such as case management and mental health treatment. The Executive Office maintains fiscal oversight and program coordination responsibilities while supporting direct service delivery across its network of local nonprofit providers and government entities throughout the state.
