Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The City of Baltimore received a $5.59 million Project Grant 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), awarded on April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2027. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by providing funding to establish and operate comprehensive housing and support service projects for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.

Under this award, Baltimore delivers services across five primary 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 homelessness prevention activities. Eligible service categories funded through this grant include CoC planning and coordination activities, case management, rental assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, new construction, operating costs, and fiscal control and accounting functions. The City of Baltimore typically partners with local nonprofit organizations such as Health Care for the Homeless, House of Ruth Maryland, and Springboard Community Services as sub-recipients to implement these grant-funded programs and address homelessness in the Baltimore region.
