Federal Grant Award Summary

Volunteers of America of Minnesota, doing business as Care Options Network, received a $148,438 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The CoC Program provides funding to nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to establish and operate comprehensive homeless services in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Under this award, the organization delivers eligible services across five program components: permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing for persons with disabilities; transitional housing; supportive services only; Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS); and homelessness prevention initiatives. Funding supports eligible costs including CoC planning activities, real property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental assistance, case management, operating expenses, and other supportive services designed to quickly house homeless individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency and access to mainstream programs. The grant advances HUD's community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation for vulnerable populations.
