Project Grant TX0346L6T012512

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded Safehaven of Tarrant County $675,793 on August 1, 2026, under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), a Project Grant designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and provide funding for nonprofit providers to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation.

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 costs include acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, new construction, COC planning activities, and United Funding Agency costs for fiscal control and accounting for sub-recipient disbursals.

Safehaven of Tarrant County, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Arlington, Texas, provides emergency shelter, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, and supportive services to survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The organization's service portfolio includes case management, safety planning, financial and career counseling, job training, housing advocacy, rental assistance, legal support, and follow-up assistance for survivors experiencing homelessness or housing instability.

The award covers the period August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027, with place of performance in Arlington, Texas. Safehaven operates both as a prime recipient and sub-recipient of federal funding, with its federal footprint consisting entirely of grant awards from HUD, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Health and Human Services.
