Federal Grant Award Summary

Tarrant County received a $1,679,007 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), effective May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027. The award funds the establishment and operation of coordinated homelessness services in Fort Worth, Texas, supporting five primary program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). The county serves as the Unified Funding Agency (UFA), providing fiscal control, accounting, and program administration to ensure proper disbursement and accountability of federal funds to eligible subrecipients delivering direct services to homeless individuals and families.

The CoC Program award supports eligible costs for housing acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction, leasing, rental assistance, operating expenses, and supportive services designed to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. Tarrant County's CoC activities include planning efforts for collaborative application development and may encompass homelessness prevention in limited cases. As a high-volume federal grant recipient with a diversified portfolio of homelessness services funding, the county administers multiple concurrent CoC awards alongside complementary HUD programs including Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) and the Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), positioning it as a comprehensive regional provider of homelessness interventions and housing solutions for the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
