Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded Community Action Program of East Central Oregon $174,121 under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. This Project Grant funds eligible activities designed to address homelessness across rural east-central Oregon counties (Gilliam, Morrow, Umatilla, and Wheeler). The award supports one or more of the program's five core components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS).

The Continuum of Care Program provides funding to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness, promoting access to mainstream programs, and optimizing self-sufficiency. Eligible uses of funds under this award may include costs associated with CoC planning activities, fiscal control and accounting functions, acquisition and rehabilitation of structures for housing or supportive services, new construction, leasing, rental assistance, operating costs, and direct supportive services. Community Action Program of East Central Oregon, a tax-exempt nonprofit community development corporation headquartered in Pendleton, Oregon, operates exclusively within the federal grant space and serves as a primary recipient under multiple HUD CoC awards, making this award part of the organization's comprehensive homelessness prevention and intervention portfolio.
