This federal Project Grant award of $196,271, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), aims to support the New Mexico Coalition To End Homelessness in delivering a range of homeless assistance services across the state.
The key activities to be performed under this award include establishing and operating projects under the CoC Program's five eligible components: permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. Specific services that may be provided include rental assistance, housing relocation and stabilization, operating costs for supportive housing, and implementation of the HMIS. This grant is expected to contribute to decreasing the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in New Mexico by improving metrics such as length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing. While the specific subrecipient activities are not known at the time of award, the grant will support the Coalition's comprehensive efforts to address homelessness through federal funding and its extensive network of over 80 partner agencies.
