Eligible costs supported by the grant funding include CoC planning activities, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs. These activities align with the CoC Program's overarching goal of promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation for homeless individuals and families.
