Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The LGBT Life Center received a $429,375 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) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The LGBT Life Center, operating as the Access AIDS Care Center for Education and Support Services in Norfolk, Virginia, will utilize these funds to deliver comprehensive housing and supportive services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, with particular focus on LGBTQ individuals, people living with HIV/AIDS, and other underserved populations.

Under the CoC Program, the organization will provide eligible activities across multiple components, including permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems (HMIS). Services delivered through established sub-award partnerships with the City of Norfolk, Virginia Department of Social Services, and the Commonwealth of Virginia State Board of Health will encompass medical case management, mental health counseling, medical transportation, HIV-related core medical services, and homelessness prevention activities. These coordinated efforts align with the CoC Program's overarching goal of promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation for vulnerable populations.
