Federal Grant Award Summary

Housing Forward received a $556,189 Project Grant 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), awarded June 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for May 31, 2027. This funding supports the organization's delivery of comprehensive homeless assistance services in the Dallas metropolitan area, enabling the establishment and operation of housing and supportive service projects designed to end homelessness and promote self-sufficiency among vulnerable populations.

Under the CoC Program, Housing Forward's funding may be applied toward five eligible program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention activities. Eligible cost categories include property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental assistance, case management, operating costs, and CoC planning and fiscal control activities. As a tax-exempt nonprofit provider with demonstrated capacity in federal grant implementation, Housing Forward serves as a key community-based partner in HUD's broader initiative to minimize trauma and dislocation while optimizing self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
