Project Grant ME0082L1T002509

The City of Bangor received a $685,221 Project Grant 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), awarded April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2027. The funding supports activities designed to address homelessness in the Bangor, Maine community through one or more of 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. These activities may encompass planning costs, fiscal control and accounting services, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs.

The CoC Program, administered by HUD, promotes community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by providing funding to nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. The program also aims to facilitate access to mainstream services and optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness. As the recipient entity, the City of Bangor's Finance Division serves as the fiscal administrator for deploying these federal funds toward eligible homeless assistance activities in accordance with HUD's regulatory requirements and program guidelines.
