Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Melrose Homes Redevelopment, LP a Project Grant totaling $272,250 under the Resident Opportunity and Supportive Services - Service Coordinators program (CFDA 14.870) on June 1, 2026. This three-year award, with completion targeted for May 31, 2029, funds a dedicated service coordinator position to assess the needs of HUD-assisted residents and connect them to supportive services that facilitate progress toward economic and housing self-sufficiency. The service coordinator will provide case management and link residents to training and supportive services that address educational, professional, health, and financial barriers to independence, with flexibility for grantees to provide direct services where necessary to support participant outcomes.

The ROSS-SC program targets residents of public housing, Indian housing, and formerly RAD (Rental Assistance Demonstration)-converted properties, with particular attention to assisting elderly and disabled residents in aging in place. Service coordinators work to help residents advance along a self-sufficiency continuum through systematic needs assessment, individualized case management, and strategic referrals to community resources. The award to Melrose Homes Redevelopment, LP for operations in Decatur, Georgia represents one of approximately 130 annual grants distributed nationwide under this program, which has obligated over $816 million across its portfolio since inception in 2003.
