Project Grant VA0294L3F002509

Homeward received a $170,594 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. This funding supports Homeward's nonprofit operations in North Chesterfield, Virginia, to prevent and end homelessness in the greater Richmond region through comprehensive homeless assistance strategies aligned with the CoC Program's five eligible 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.

The grant enables Homeward to deliver critical services including rental assistance, case management, housing relocation and stabilization services, and operating costs for housing programs serving both general homeless populations and youth experiencing homelessness. These activities support the CoC Program's overarching goals of promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness, quickly rehousing individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation, facilitating access to mainstream resources, and optimizing self-sufficiency among persons experiencing homelessness in the Richmond community.
