Federal Grant Award Summary

Domestic Violence and Rape Crisis Services of Saratoga County (doing business as Wellspring) received a $122,299 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 was obligated on June 1, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2027. Through this funding, Wellspring provides critical homeless intervention and housing services to vulnerable populations in Saratoga County, New York, including individuals and families experiencing homelessness and persons fleeing domestic violence.

The CoC Program funds enable Wellspring to establish and operate eligible activities across five primary components: permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing; transitional housing; supportive services only; Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS); and homelessness prevention. Specific services may include rental assistance, case management, emergency housing placement, and operational costs necessary to transition homeless individuals and families into permanent housing while minimizing trauma and dislocation. As a long-standing nonprofit recipient since 2007, Wellspring leverages CoC funding to advance HUD's community-wide goal of ending homelessness and promoting self-sufficiency among at-risk populations.
