Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded Aids Foundation Houston, Inc. (doing business as Allies In Hope) a $1,038,688 Project Grant under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2027. This award supports the operation of four residential facilities—A Friendly Haven, Help House, Burress Street Apartments, and Chupik House—and the delivery of comprehensive supportive housing and services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness, with particular focus on persons living with HIV/AIDS.

The funded services encompass permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and extensive case management and supportive services including life skills training, job training, nutritional services, substance abuse counseling, and rental assistance. Allies In Hope operates as a prime recipient under the Continuum of Care Program and receives substantial pass-through funding from the City of Houston to support facility-based operating costs, supportive services, project administration, and tenant-based rental assistance. These integrated housing and supportive service offerings align with the program's core objectives of quickly housing homeless individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency and access to mainstream programs.
