Partners Behavioral Health Management (Partners BHM) received a $849,843 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The award, dated April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2027, supports the organization's efforts to address homelessness in Gastonia, North Carolina, through comprehensive housing and supportive services delivery.

Under this grant, Partners BHM will provide services aligned with the CoC Program's five eligible 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 funding enables Partners BHM to cover eligible costs such as real property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental assistance, case management, operating costs, and CoC planning activities. These coordinated efforts aim to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation, promoting access to mainstream programs, and optimizing self-sufficiency among persons experiencing homelessness.
