Summary of Federal Project Grant Award

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded County of Greene a Project Grant totaling $234,164 under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) effective June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and provide funding for efforts to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. As the awardee, County of Greene will utilize these funds to support eligible CoC program components in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, which may include permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and/or Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS).

The specific products and services to be delivered under this award may encompass establishment and operation of housing or supportive service projects, CoC planning activities, acquisition or rehabilitation of structures for housing or supportive services, leasing and rental assistance, operating costs, and direct supportive services to address homelessness. As a rural, economically disadvantaged county in Appalachia with demonstrated expertise managing federal homelessness and housing programs, County of Greene is well-positioned to address critical housing and homelessness prevention needs within its service area through this CoC funding.
