Project Grant SC0147L4E032508

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded Eastern Carolina Homelessness Org, Inc. $846,980 on August 1, 2026, under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) to establish and operate eligible projects serving homeless individuals and families in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

The Continuum of Care Program funds five program 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 for subrecipients, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, and new construction.

Eastern Carolina Homelessness Org, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit headquartered in Myrtle Beach, operates as a primary federal grant recipient delivering transitional housing, case management, and supportive services for homeless veterans, unaccompanied youth, and very low-income families. The organization receives the majority of its federal funding through HUD's Continuum of Care Program, which accounts for approximately 75 percent of its recent award count.

The award period runs from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2027, with performance at the recipient's Myrtle Beach location.
