Project Grant MD0561L3B142400

This Project Grant award of $352,383 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), supports efforts by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (MD DHCD) to address homelessness in the state. The CoC Program provides funding to nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness. The award will enable MD DHCD to undertake eligible activities such as permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. As a key state-level housing authority, MD DHCD plans to sub-award portions of this grant to local governments, housing authorities, non-profit organizations, and community action agencies across Maryland to deliver targeted interventions addressing housing instability, health hazards, and economic opportunities for vulnerable populations.
