Federal Grant Award Summary

The National Center for Children & Families received a Project Grant of $731,670 from the U.S. 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, effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, supports the organization's efforts to provide housing and supportive services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Westlake, Maryland area.

Under this CoC award, eligible activities include establishing and operating permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services programs designed to quickly house homeless populations while minimizing trauma and dislocation. The funding may additionally support Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), CoC planning activities, property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental assistance, and operating costs. Given the organization's documented track record administering CoC and Department of Justice grants focused on housing assistance and case management services, the award is intended to strengthen the organization's capacity to provide comprehensive support services that promote self-sufficiency among vulnerable populations experiencing homelessness.
