Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Martin Housing Authority a Project Grant of $256,736 under the Resident Opportunity and Supportive Services - Service Coordinators program (CFDA 14.870) effective June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2029. This three-year award funds a dedicated service coordinator position to assess the needs of HUD-assisted residents in Martin, Tennessee, and connect them to supportive services that address barriers to economic and housing self-sufficiency. The service coordinator provides case management and links residents to training, education, professional development, and health services to facilitate their progress toward financial independence and stable housing.

In addition to core service coordination activities, the grant provides funding flexibility for Martin Housing Authority to deliver direct supportive services where necessary to supplement the coordinator's work and advance residents' self-sufficiency goals. The program is designed to help residents achieve and maintain financial, housing, and personal/family stability, with particular emphasis on elderly and disabled residents who may benefit from aging-in-place support services. As a competitive award under HUD's place-based grant structure, the funding supports Martin Housing Authority's ongoing community development mission to improve housing-related outcomes for vulnerable populations in Weakley County.
