Federal Grant Award Summary

The Community Action Agency in Jackson, Michigan received a $193,435 Project Grant award effective May 1, 2026, through 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). This award supports the organization's efforts to address homelessness through eligible activities within five program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The funding may be allocated toward thirteen types of eligible costs, including CoC planning activities, real property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental assistance, case management services, and operating costs.

As a multi-service nonprofit organization specializing in community development, Community Action Agency will utilize these federal funds to deliver critical housing and supportive services designed to quickly rehouse individuals and families experiencing homelessness while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. The grant award, with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2027, aligns with the CoC Program's broader mission to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and enhance access to mainstream programs for vulnerable populations.
