Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded Mecklenburg County a $167,862 Project Grant under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) effective June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027. This award supports the establishment and operation of housing and supportive services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Charlotte, NC metropolitan area. Eligible activities funded through this award include permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), as well as planning activities and fiscal control functions necessary to administer the program.

Mecklenburg County serves as the lead entity responsible for coordinating and implementing these homelessness interventions across the continuum of care. The funding aligns with the Continuum of Care Program's broader mandate to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation experienced by homeless individuals and families. The award represents one component of Mecklenburg County's substantial federal portfolio in housing and homelessness services, which includes 120 awards under CFDA 14.267 since 2011 and reflects the county's ongoing role as a primary recipient of HUD community development funding in North Carolina.
