The award, effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, supports the organization's efforts to address homelessness in Charleston, West Virginia through the provision of housing and supportive services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness.

The funded activities align with the CoC Program's five core components and enable Covenant House to deliver permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) support. Eligible uses of the grant funds include costs associated with housing acquisition, rehabilitation and construction, rental assistance, case management, CoC planning activities, and operational expenses. These services are designed to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma, promoting access to mainstream programs and resources, and supporting long-term self-sufficiency among vulnerable populations served by the organization.
