Federal Grant Award Summary

Branches-Domestic Violence Shelter of Huntington, W.VA Inc. received a $170,863 Project Grant award 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 May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027. The CoC Program provides federal funding to nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to support efforts aimed at ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation for homeless individuals and families.

Through this award, Branches will deliver eligible services under the five primary CoC program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). The organization may also implement homelessness prevention activities as allowable under the program. Given Branches' mission as a domestic violence shelter and supportive services provider in the Huntington area, the funding will support the organization's ongoing efforts to provide comprehensive housing and support services to homeless and at-risk populations in West Virginia.
