Project Grant WV0115L3E012409

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $380,329 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to the Huntington West Virginia Housing Authority (HWVHA) on May 5, 2025. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide efforts to end homelessness by providing funding to nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.

The HWVHA, a nonprofit organization focused on affordable housing in Huntington, West Virginia, will use the grant funds to support a range of eligible activities under the CoC Program, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and potentially homelessness prevention. Specific details on sub-recipient activities are not provided at the time of the award. The primary objectives are to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness through performance metrics such as reduced length of homelessness, fewer returns to homelessness, and increased exits to permanent housing.
