Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Housing Development Corporation of Northeastern Pennsylvania Inc. received a $206,403 Project Grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267). The award period runs from May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027, and is being performed in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. As a specialized nonprofit community development corporation, the awardee delivers comprehensive services to address homelessness in northeastern Pennsylvania through five primary program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) implementation.

The Continuum of Care Program funds the establishment and operation of housing and service delivery projects designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation for affected individuals and families. Eligible use of these grant funds includes acquisition and rehabilitation of structures, new construction, leasing and rental assistance, operating costs, and direct supportive services. The awardee's sustained participation in HUD's CoC program—with 96 percent of its federal funding derived from this program since 2004—demonstrates specialized capacity in delivering permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, and transitional housing interventions within its regional service area.
