This $587,478 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) will fund Grace House, a non-profit organization in Jackson, Mississippi, to provide housing and supportive services to homeless individuals living with disabilities, HIV/AIDS, and addictions.
The funding will support Grace House's initiatives to establish stable housing, reduce the risk of homelessness, and improve access to healthcare for low-income individuals in the Jackson metropolitan area. This includes operating 16 facility-based housing units, providing tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA) to 10 units, facilitating permanent housing placement (PHP) for approximately 15 units annually, and offering short-term rent, mortgage, and utility (STRMU) assistance to 15 households. As a subrecipient, Grace House will also partner with the City of Jackson to deliver HUD's Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program services.
