This $4,472,251 federal Project Grant was awarded on March 11, 2025 by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The grant recipient, Emerald Development & Economic Network Inc. (doing business as Eden), is a non-profit organization in Cleveland, Ohio that provides housing solutions and support services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
The grant funding will enable Eden to offer a range of eligible activities under the CoC Program, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homelessness management information systems (HMIS), and potentially homelessness prevention. These efforts aim to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. The grant supports Eden's work to develop and manage affordable housing units, provide rental assistance, offer case management, and coordinate with local partners to create a comprehensive homelessness intervention network in the Cleveland area.
