Federal Grant Award Summary

The Lenoir Housing Authority received a $272,250 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Resident Opportunity and Supportive Services - Service Coordinators program (CFDA 14.870), awarded June 1, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2029. This grant funds service coordinators who provide essential linkages between public housing residents and supportive services designed to address educational, professional, and health barriers that impede economic and housing self-sufficiency.

Under this three-year funding award, the Lenoir Housing Authority will deploy service coordinators to connect residents with resources and assistance across multiple domains including employment support, educational advancement, healthcare access, and financial counseling. The program is structured as part of the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative, which emphasizes workforce development and economic self-sufficiency outcomes for low-income residents in public housing. Service coordinators serve as critical connectors between the housing authority's resident population and the broader network of community-based supportive services necessary to achieve stable, independent living and employment.
