About this program
The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office administers the Family Unification Program (CFDA 14.880), which funds Housing Choice Voucher assistance provided through public housing authorities partnering with child welfare agencies to prevent or facilitate family reunification, with the most recent grant opportunity posted May 8, 2026.
Program activity is sparse and stalled. Seven project grants were awarded between 2018 and 2021, with the most recent awards issued May 13, 2021—over five years ago. No grant awards have been announced since 2021. The portfolio shows inconsistent cadence: two awards in 2018, three in 2019, and two in 2021, with no activity in 2020 or after 2021. The source reports zero federal dollars obligated across all seven awards, indicating the financial value of individual grants is not captured in this data.
The program funds Housing Choice Vouchers directed to two populations: families for whom inadequate housing is a primary factor in imminent child placement in out-of-home care or delayed discharge from care; and youth aged 18–24 who left or are leaving foster care and are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Vouchers issued to families carry no time limit; vouchers for youth are capped at 36 months, with optional extensions of up to 24 additional months under the Fostering Stable Housing Opportunities (FSHO) amendment for youth who first lease a unit after December 27, 2020.
All seven recent awards were Project Grants administered solely by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office.
Two recent opportunities are open. A multi-year NOFO (Solicitation FR-6800-N-84) was posted May 8, 2026, with no stated deadline. An earlier FY 2024 opportunity (FR-6800-N-41), posted August 1, 2024, carried a due date of October 30, 2024—now past. Eligibility is limited to public or Indian housing authorities with existing Annual Contributions Contracts for Housing Choice Vouchers and executed Memoranda of Understanding with public child welfare agencies and Continuums of Care. Only one application per PHA is permitted. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are ineligible.
