Project Grant OH0274L5E022517

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded $156,917 to the Young Women's Christian Association of Greater Cleveland, Ohio on August 1, 2026, under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267). The award funds eligible costs to establish and operate projects across five 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 in some cases homelessness prevention. The Continuum of Care Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness. Performance occurs in Cleveland, OH 44103, with a period of performance from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2027. The recipient may use funding for eligible costs including COC planning activities, United Funding Agency costs for fiscal control and accounting, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, and new construction. The YWCA of Cleveland is a nonprofit organization that has established itself as a critical community resource addressing homelessness and housing insecurity in the Cleveland metropolitan area and collaborates with multiple sub-recipients to deliver housing and supportive services.
