Project Grant MD0058L3B012518

The City of Baltimore received a $566,594 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) for the period of February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2027. The CoC Program supports community-wide efforts to end homelessness by funding eligible activities across five primary components: permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing for persons with disabilities, transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. Specific allowable uses of CoC funding include acquisition and rehabilitation of structures, new construction, leasing, rental assistance, operating costs, and supportive services delivery.

As the recipient entity, the City of Baltimore will utilize these funds to establish and operate projects within its jurisdiction to quickly house homeless individuals and families while providing necessary supportive services. The award supports the city's continued implementation of its coordinated homelessness response strategy, consistent with its track record of administering multiple CoC grants in partnership with local nonprofit subrecipients such as Health Care for the Homeless and House of Ruth Maryland. The funding directly advances the program's overarching objectives of promoting self-sufficiency among persons experiencing homelessness and minimizing trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness within the Baltimore community.
