Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Trenton's Grants Management Division received a $363,248 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 (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The award, effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, funds eligible activities designed to end homelessness in Trenton, New Jersey. Products and services delivered through this award support one or more of five core program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS).

Allowable uses of CoC funds under this award include planning and collaborative design activities, fiscal control and accounting functions through a Unified Funding Agency, acquisition and rehabilitation of structures for housing or supportive services, new construction of housing facilities, leasing costs, rental assistance, operating expenses, and direct supportive services. The City of Trenton administers these federal funds primarily through pass-through mechanisms to local nonprofits, housing authorities, and municipal departments rather than direct service delivery, consistent with its established role as steward of community-wide homelessness intervention funding. This award represents one of over 60 CoC Project Grants the city has received since 2021, collectively targeting the permanent housing, emergency shelter, and support infrastructure needs of homeless individuals and families throughout the Trenton area.
