Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded $361,748 to United Community Action Partnership (doing business as Community Transit) on June 1, 2026, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). This award supports services and housing interventions for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Willmar, Minnesota. The organization will utilize funding to establish and operate projects across five eligible 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 activities.

The grant will support eligible operational and service delivery costs including case management, rental assistance, real property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, CoC planning activities, and fiscal control and accounting functions. The award period extends through May 31, 2027, and aligns with the CoC Program's broader federal objective to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation for vulnerable populations. United Community Action Partnership, a tax-exempt nonprofit with significant experience in HUD homelessness programs, will execute these activities as a child entity under its parent organization, United Community Action Partnership, Inc.
