This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $2,437,748 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) supports the City of Baltimore's efforts to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. The grant funds can be used for a variety of eligible activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The award aims to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness by addressing performance indicators such as length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing. The City of Baltimore will serve as the primary awardee and may partner with local non-profit organizations, community groups, and institutions to deliver these services to the intended beneficiaries - individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Baltimore area.
