Federal Grant Award Summary

Open Doors Homeless Coalition received a $104,351 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267). The award, dated June 1, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2027, supports the organization's efforts to address homelessness in Gulfport, Mississippi through evidence-based housing interventions and supportive services.

The funded activities encompass five core program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing for homeless individuals and families, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). Based on the organization's historical grant portfolio, these services include rental assistance, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and job training—with particular emphasis on serving youth under age 24. These services are designed to rapidly house and stabilize homeless populations while promoting long-term housing stability and self-sufficiency.
