Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded Multnomah County $2,536,081 through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The CoC Program provides funding to establish and operate projects addressing homelessness through five primary 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 activities. Eligible cost categories include CoC planning activities, unified funding agency administrative functions, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs.

As the prime grantee for this award, Multnomah County will utilize these funds to deliver comprehensive homelessness services in the Portland, Oregon area. The county's substantial CoC grant portfolio reflects its established role in coordinating community-wide efforts to end homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation to individuals, families, and communities. The award supports the county's mission to promote self-sufficiency among persons experiencing homelessness and enhance access to mainstream programs and services.
