Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Gay Men's Health Crisis, Inc. (GMHC) received a $1.78 million Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027, supports GMHC's delivery of comprehensive housing and supportive services to homeless and at-risk individuals and families in New York City, with particular emphasis on persons living with or at risk of HIV/AIDS. Services delivered through this funding include rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, homelessness prevention, case management, rental assistance, and access to mental health and substance abuse treatment services.

The CoC Program funds GMHC's operations across five eligible 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 activities. As a well-established nonprofit provider, GMHC leverages this federal funding in collaboration with partners such as Housing Works, the City of New York, and the Corporation for Supportive Housing to minimize trauma and dislocation while promoting self-sufficiency and access to mainstream programs for vulnerable populations experiencing homelessness in New York.
