Summary of Federal Project Grant Award

The City of Trenton received a $231,040 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), awarded July 1, 2026, with a completion date of June 30, 2027. This award funds activities designed to address homelessness in Trenton, New Jersey, through eligible program components including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). The CoC Program specifically promotes community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by providing resources to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation.

The funding supports eligible costs associated with establishing and operating CoC projects, which may encompass planning activities, fiscal control and accounting functions, acquisition and rehabilitation of structures for housing or supportive services, new construction, leasing, rental assistance, operating costs, and provision of supportive services to homeless populations. As the prime recipient administering this award through its Grants Management Division, the City of Trenton serves as the fiscal steward for federal funds distributed to local nonprofits, housing authorities, and municipal departments delivering direct services to homeless individuals and families in the Trenton area. This award represents one of over 60 CoC project grants the city has received since 2021, reflecting sustained federal investment in the municipality's homelessness intervention efforts.
