The CoC Program funds community-wide initiatives designed to end homelessness through rapid rehousing and supportive services for homeless individuals and families. Under this award, eligible activities may include establishment and operation of permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems (HMIS), along with associated planning, administrative, and infrastructure costs necessary to implement these services.

As a prime grantee with substantial experience administering federal homelessness and housing programs, Montgomery County will utilize these funds to support its comprehensive continuum of care strategy within its jurisdiction in Potomac, Maryland. The county's federal grant portfolio demonstrates sustained capacity in managing HUD housing programs, including prior awards under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program and Emergency Solutions Grant Program. The one-year funding period supports the county's ongoing efforts to coordinate community resources, minimize homelessness-related trauma, and promote access to mainstream support services for vulnerable populations experiencing housing instability.
