Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded $1.2M to the Institute for Community Living Inc. under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The award funds the establishment and operation of homeless intervention and housing services across New York City, with a primary focus on permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services delivery. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness.

As a nonprofit community development corporation specializing in homeless intervention and mental health treatment services, Institute for Community Living will utilize grant funds to support eligible CoC program components including housing acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, leasing and rental assistance, operating costs, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) operations. The organization operates primarily in Bowling Green, Brooklyn, and East New York neighborhoods, serving individuals experiencing homelessness and those with psychological, intellectual, and developmental disabilities. Award activities align with the broader CoC program objective of optimizing self-sufficiency and housing stability among vulnerable populations in New York City.
