Federal Grant Award Summary

Community Action Wayne/Medina received a $150,142 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), awarded on June 1, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2027. The funding supports activities designed to address homelessness in Wooster, Ohio, through one or more of the program's five eligible 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 initiatives.

The CoC Program funds a range of eligible costs to establish and operate housing and supportive service projects, including planning activities, real property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs. As a long-established nonprofit community development organization with extensive experience administering federal assistance programs, Community Action Wayne/Medina will utilize this award to advance HUD's community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation for homeless individuals and families and promoting pathways to self-sufficiency.
