Federal Grant Award Summary

The Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence (PCADV) received a $2,419,041 Project Grant award 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). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, supports PCADV's statewide mission to address homelessness and domestic violence across Pennsylvania's 67 counties. The CoC Program provides comprehensive housing and support services to homeless individuals and families, with a particular focus on domestic violence survivors and other vulnerable populations experiencing homelessness.

Through this funding, PCADV delivers critical services including permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services only. The organization implements evidence-based approaches such as the DV Housing First model to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. Additional CoC Program-eligible activities funded through this award include homeless management information system (HMIS) administration, planning activities, and homelessness prevention services. PCADV coordinates extensively with state agencies and manages sub-grants to ensure comprehensive support services—including emergency hotlines, shelter, relocation assistance, counseling, safety planning, financial assistance, and referrals to mental health, medical, and legal services—reach survivors across the state.
