Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Human Services Programs of Carroll County, Inc. (HSP) received a $558,484 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 July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The award supports HSP's delivery of comprehensive homeless assistance and supportive services to vulnerable populations in Westminster, Maryland and the Carroll County area. Eligible activities funded through this award encompass five program components: permanent supportive housing for individuals with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS).

Through this funding, HSP provides critical services designed to quickly house homeless individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency and access to mainstream programs. Supported service offerings include rental assistance, case management, housing relocation and stabilization services, job training, mental health support, and substance abuse treatment. The CoC Program authorizes funding for eligible costs such as acquisition and rehabilitation of real property, new construction, planning activities, and operating expenses. HSP's consistent receipt of federal CoC grants demonstrates its established capacity to implement targeted interventions that minimize the trauma associated with homelessness and facilitate housing stability and economic independence within the community.
