Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Trenton received a $149,543 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) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The CoC Program funds efforts to end homelessness through rapid housing solutions and supportive services. Eligible activities under this award include permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). The grant also supports CoC planning activities, fiscal control and accounting functions through a Unified Funding Agency, and in some cases, homelessness prevention efforts.

Based on Trenton's historical funding patterns, the city typically uses CoC awards to administer federal funds flowing to local nonprofits, housing authorities, and municipal departments rather than deliver services directly. The City of Trenton's Grants Management Division has received over 60 CoC project grants since 2021, targeting homeless individuals and families in Trenton through various housing and service delivery mechanisms. This award represents continued federal investment in the city's homelessness intervention and housing infrastructure.
