Project Grant MA0691L1T002506

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded the City of Boston $434,879 on September 1, 2026, under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), a Project Grant designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness.

The award supports eligible costs to establish and operate projects under 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 (HMIS), and in some cases homelessness prevention. Activities funded through the program include COC planning activities, United Funding Agency costs for fiscal control and accounting, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, new construction, and other eligible assistance types.

Performance period runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027. Work is performed in Boston, Massachusetts. The City of Boston, through its Mayor's Office of Emergency Management Division (operating as the Treasurer's Office), receives the award as the prime recipient and administers the Continuum of Care funding in coordination with local nonprofit subrecipients providing homelessness prevention and rapid re-housing services.
