Federal Grant Award Summary

The Lynchburg Redevelopment & Housing Authority received a $320,183 Project Grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), effective March 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027. This award supports the organization's efforts to address homelessness in the Lynchburg, Virginia area through evidence-based interventions designed to rapidly house individuals and families experiencing homelessness while providing essential supportive services.

Funding under this award supports five primary program components: permanent supportive housing (including permanent housing for persons with disabilities), rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) operations. Additionally, the grant may fund planning activities, fiscal control and accounting functions through unified funding agency structures, and homelessness prevention initiatives. These integrated services work collectively to minimize trauma and dislocation associated with homelessness, promote self-sufficiency, and increase access to mainstream support programs for vulnerable populations across the Lynchburg region.
