Federal Grant Award Summary

Multnomah County received a $281,391 Project Grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by funding efforts that quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. Multnomah County will utilize these funds to support activities addressing homelessness in the Portland, Oregon area.

Under the award, Multnomah County may deploy funding across five eligible 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 homelessness prevention activities. Eligible uses include CoC planning costs, unified funding agency fiscal control and accounting services, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs. As a government entity with an established history of managing HUD CoC awards, Multnomah County will implement these activities in coordination with nonprofit organizations and community-based partners to serve individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
