Federal Grant Award Summary

Community Action Pioneer Valley, Inc. received a $972,760 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The award funds homelessness intervention and housing assistance services in Franklin and Hampshire counties, Massachusetts, supporting the program's core mission to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and provide rapid rehousing for individuals and families experiencing housing instability.

Under this award, Community Action Pioneer Valley delivers eligible services across five COC program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). The funding enables the organization to establish and operate projects that house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation, promote access to mainstream programs, and optimize self-sufficiency among vulnerable populations. As a woman-owned nonprofit and federally designated anti-poverty agency, Community Action Pioneer Valley leverages this COC funding as part of its comprehensive portfolio of federal housing and supportive services programming in Western Massachusetts.
