Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded $412,597 to the Institute for Community Alliances on May 1, 2026, through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period ending April 30, 2027. The CoC Program supports community-wide efforts to end homelessness by funding nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. The award enables the Institute for Community Alliances to establish and operate projects under five core 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.

Through this award, the grantee provides eligible services including CoC planning activities, fiscal control and accounting functions, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs. As a prime grantee and experienced administrator, the Institute for Community Alliances utilizes these funds to coordinate housing and support services across multiple states while managing HMIS data collection and implementing comprehensive, data-driven approaches to address housing instability. The organization works with sub-recipients and partners including state housing finance agencies and local governments to deliver coordinated entry, emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, and supportive housing services to vulnerable populations experiencing homelessness.
