The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded the City of Fall River $763,965 on September 1, 2026, under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), a Project Grant assistance type. Performance extends through August 31, 2027, at Fall River, Massachusetts.
The Continuum of Care Program funds community-wide efforts to end homelessness through five program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems, and in some cases homelessness prevention. Eligible activities include COC planning, United Funding Agency costs for fiscal control and accounting to subrecipients, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, and new construction.
The City of Fall River serves as the prime recipient and administers CoC funding across multiple homelessness initiatives. The city's recent CoC project grants support permanent supportive housing for chronically homeless individuals and families, transitional housing for chronically homeless youth with disabilities, and coordinated entry and assessment services for homeless populations including chronic homeless individuals, veterans, youth, and families.
