Federal Grant Award Summary

The Gainesville Housing Authority received a $269,527 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office 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 service coordinators who will link public housing residents in Gainesville, Florida to comprehensive supportive services designed to address barriers to economic and housing self-sufficiency, including educational, professional, and health-related obstacles.

Under the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative structure, the grant supports the deployment of service coordination staff to connect residents with resources and assistance necessary to achieve greater economic independence and housing stability. The Gainesville Housing Authority, as the prime grantee, will implement this initiative directly with no identified subrecipients. The program operates competitively, with renewals requiring reapplication and subject to HUD's competitive selection process and performance criteria outlined in the annual Notice of Funding Opportunity.
