Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded $508,090 to the Coalition On Homelessness And Housing In Ohio (Cohhio) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026 and ending June 30, 2027. The CoC Program provides funding to nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to establish and operate projects that quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness.

Under this award, Cohhio will deliver services across one or more of the CoC Program's five authorized 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. Eligible activities supported by this funding include CoC planning activities, fiscal control and accounting functions, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs. These services are designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness, optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness, and enhance access to mainstream programs within the Columbus, Ohio region.
