Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Milwaukee County's Department of Health and Human Services - Housing Division received a $4.13 million 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), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The funding supports the establishment and operation of homelessness intervention and prevention services across five primary program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) administration.

The CoC Program promotes community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by enabling Milwaukee County to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation, facilitate access to mainstream programs, and optimize self-sufficiency. Eligible activities funded through this award encompass CoC planning costs, unified funding agency fiscal control functions, acquisition and rehabilitation of structures for housing or supportive services, new construction, leasing, rental assistance, operating costs, and direct supportive services. This award represents a continuation of the Housing Division's substantial homelessness intervention portfolio, which has historically anchored the majority of its federal grant activity.
