The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded $102,449 to the Institute For Community Alliances on September 1, 2026, under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267). The award supports establishment and operation of projects addressing homelessness through five program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. Eligible costs include COC planning activities, United Funding Agency functions for fiscal control and accounting to subrecipients, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property, new construction, and other activities specified in the program regulations. The Institute For Community Alliances, a Des Moines, Iowa-based nonprofit, receives the award for performance through August 31, 2027, with place of performance in Des Moines, IA. The Continuum of Care Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and to provide funding for nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation, promoting access to mainstream programs, and optimizing self-sufficiency.
