Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Philadelphia's Office of Homeless Services received a $3.77 million 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) for the period of April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027. This award supports the establishment and operation of five key program components designed to address homelessness in Philadelphia: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing initiatives, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). The funding enables the city to provide eligible assistance including property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operational costs for homeless housing and support services.

The CoC Program award promotes community-wide efforts to end homelessness by quickly rehousing individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. Through this funding, the City of Philadelphia will deliver person-centric, trauma-informed approaches to housing stability and social service delivery in collaboration with state agencies and local nonprofit providers across the Philadelphia metropolitan area, ultimately working toward optimizing self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
