The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded $275,071 to Community Care Alliance on April 1, 2026, under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267). Community Care Alliance, doing business as Northern Rhode Island Community Service, is a Rhode Island-based nonprofit providing homeless services and behavioral health support to low-income and underserved populations across the state.
The Continuum of Care Program funds eligible costs to establish and operate projects across five components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems, and in some cases homelessness prevention. Eligible activities include COC planning, fiscal control and accounting services through a United Funding Agency, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, and new construction.
The award runs from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027, with place of performance in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Community Care Alliance serves over 16,000 people annually through its behavioral health and community action programs, with service areas spanning northern and eastern Providence County and statewide initiatives. The organization holds 20 Continuum of Care awards from HUD as prime recipient, representing its largest federal funding channel by award count alongside Administration for Children and Families support.
