Federal Grant Award Summary

York County received a $246,338 Project Grant 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), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The award supports the county's efforts to combat homelessness through a comprehensive continuum of care approach designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness, house individuals and families experiencing homelessness quickly, and optimize self-sufficiency among vulnerable populations.

The funding enables York County to establish and operate projects across five primary 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 of funds include CoC planning costs, fiscal control and accounting services, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs for homeless services infrastructure. This award builds upon York County's existing CoC portfolio, which totals approximately $1.7 million annually and represents the county's substantial commitment to addressing homelessness through permanent housing solutions, transitional housing, and supportive services.
