Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Rochester Housing Authority received a $987,226 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). The award, effective May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027, funds activities designed to address homelessness in the Rochester, NY area through five eligible program components: permanent supportive housing for individuals with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) operations.

Under this grant, Rochester Housing Authority will deliver housing and supportive services to homeless individuals and families, including vulnerable populations such as youth, persons fleeing domestic violence, and individuals with disabilities. Eligible activities funded through this award encompass real property acquisition and rehabilitation, case management, rental assistance, operating costs for housing programs, and HMIS implementation to track and coordinate homeless services. These efforts align with the CoC Program's mission to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation, and to advance self-sufficiency among persons experiencing homelessness.
