Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The City of Baltimore received a $2,295,836 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) for the period April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027. This award supports the city's efforts to address homelessness through five eligible program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention activities. The funding enables Baltimore to provide critical services including property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction of housing units, rental assistance, case management, and operational costs necessary to house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation.

The CoC Program grant aligns with HUD's national strategy to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by supporting collaborative planning and coordinated service delivery. The City of Baltimore typically partners with local nonprofit organizations such as Health Care for the Homeless and House of Ruth Maryland to implement CoC-funded initiatives, ensuring comprehensive coverage of housing and supportive services for vulnerable populations including persons with disabilities, youth under 25, and individuals and families fleeing domestic violence. This award represents part of HUD's substantial nationwide investment in the CoC Program, which has obligated $26.9 billion across over 83,900 project grants since 2011.
