Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Baltimore received a $622,364 Project Grant award on April 1, 2026, 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, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2027, supports Baltimore's comprehensive homelessness response strategy through funding for five eligible 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. These components enable the city to establish and operate housing and support services that quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation.

Under this award, Baltimore may allocate funds across thirteen categories of eligible costs, including CoC planning activities, real property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs for housing and supportive services. The city historically collaborates with local nonprofit partners such as Health Care for the Homeless, House of Ruth Maryland, and Springboard Community Services to deliver these services as sub-recipients. This funding demonstrates Baltimore's commitment to the CoC Program's goal of promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while optimizing self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing housing insecurity.
