Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing & Community Development Virginia Department Of received a $307,455 Project Grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), effective February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2027. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by providing funding for efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness. The award supports the establishment and operation of projects across five 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.

The funded activities conducted in Richmond, Virginia encompass eligible CoC program services including planning activities, fiscal control and accounting functions, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, and new construction. As Virginia's primary state grantee for homelessness and community development initiatives, the department implements these services through subrecipients including local governments and nonprofit organizations across the commonwealth, consistent with its demonstrated history of administering substantial federal homelessness intervention and prevention funding totaling millions of dollars annually.
