Project Grant NM0115L6B012509

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded $319,231 to Mesilla Valley Community Of Hope on September 1, 2026, under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267). The award funds rapid rehousing and permanent supportive housing operations through August 31, 2027, at the recipient's location in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The Continuum of Care Program supports nonprofit providers, states, and local governments in establishing and operating projects across five program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems, and homelessness prevention. Eligible funding uses include planning activities, real property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rent and utilities assistance, case management, and fiscal control costs for disbursement to subrecipients. Mesilla Valley Community Of Hope, a Las Cruces-based nonprofit, delivers homelessness prevention, supportive housing, and case management services to very low-income individuals, families, and veterans across the Mesilla Valley community. The organization operates primarily as a HUD Continuum of Care grant recipient and also manages sub-awards for rapid rehousing, homeless-prevention rental assistance, and supportive services within the local homeless services continuum.
