Person Centered Housing Options Inc. received a $2.24 million Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. This award supports the organization's efforts to address homelessness in Monroe County and surrounding communities through a comprehensive range of housing and supportive services.

The grant funds enable Person Centered Housing Options Inc. to establish and operate eligible projects across five primary program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). Allowable uses of the award include acquisition and rehabilitation of structures for housing, new construction, leasing and rental assistance, operating costs, and supportive services. In collaboration with local government entities including Monroe County and the City of Rochester, the organization delivers services through programs such as the Street Outreach & Engagement Program and emergency shelter operations, with the overarching objective of quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency and minimizing trauma associated with homelessness.
