Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Town of Crossville Housing Authority received a $414,840 Project Grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. This award supports the establishment and operation of projects designed to address homelessness in Crossville, Tennessee through five primary program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing initiatives, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS).

The funded activities encompass eligible costs associated with designing and implementing collaborative homelessness prevention and intervention strategies, including acquisition and rehabilitation of structures for housing provision, new construction or expansion of facilities, leasing and rental assistance, operating costs for shelter and supportive services, and fiscal control and accounting functions. These services align with the Continuum of Care Program's overarching objectives to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation to homeless individuals and families, facilitating access to mainstream programs, and optimizing self-sufficiency among persons experiencing or at-risk of homelessness.
