Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded $290,425.00 to Battered Families Services Inc. under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Battered Families Services Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Gallup, New Mexico, will utilize these funds to support homeless individuals and families experiencing domestic violence through emergency shelter services, crisis intervention, and comprehensive support services. The organization operates a 24-hour crisis hotline, provides case management and counseling, and offers legal advocacy and therapeutic support designed to address housing instability and trauma associated with homelessness and domestic violence.

The CoC Program supports this work by funding projects that rapidly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing disruption and facilitating access to mainstream support services. Eligible uses of CoC funding include permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services—all of which align with Battered Families Services Inc.'s mission to serve vulnerable populations in McKinley County. This award represents part of HUD's broader national effort, supported by $27.4 billion in total obligated funds, to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness through nonprofit providers, states, and local governments across the country.
