Federal Grant Award Summary

Greater Opportunities, a nonprofit organization based in Norwich, New York, received a $217,063 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 June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027, supports the organization's efforts to address homelessness in its service area through the delivery of critical housing and support services.

The grant funds eligible activities across five CoC program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. Greater Opportunities may utilize these funds for various eligible costs, including property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental assistance, case management, operating expenses, and CoC planning activities. Through these investments, the organization advances HUD's strategic objective of promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation for individuals and families experiencing housing instability, and supporting progress toward self-sufficiency among vulnerable populations.
