Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The City of Baltimore received a $548,365 Project Grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The award, effective May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027, funds eligible activities designed to address homelessness in Baltimore through five primary program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention initiatives. The funding supports community-wide efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation.

Under this award, the City of Baltimore may utilize funding for up to thirteen types of eligible costs, including CoC planning activities, fiscal control and accounting through a Unified Funding Agency, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs. The city typically collaborates with local nonprofit subrecipients such as Health Care for the Homeless, House of Ruth Maryland, and Springboard Community Services to implement these grant-funded programs, leveraging federal resources to provide comprehensive housing and supportive services to Baltimore's homeless and at-risk populations.
