The Utah Department of Workforce Service received a $304,551 Project Grant award from the 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 July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and provide funding for rapid housing of homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. Grant funds support eligible activities including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), CoC planning activities, fiscal control and accounting functions, acquisition and rehabilitation of structures for housing or services, new construction, leasing, rental assistance, and operating costs.

Under this award, the Utah Department of Workforce Service will deliver or coordinate these housing and supportive services within Salt Lake City to advance HUD's homelessness prevention and intervention goals. The grant supports the department's capacity to establish and operate projects across multiple program components designed to optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness while promoting access to mainstream programs that facilitate sustainable housing outcomes.
