These grants, typically ranging from $255,000 to $2.4 million, support the organization's mission of quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. The grants fund a variety of activities including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. As a sub-recipient, Abode Services has also worked with local jurisdictions like the Cities of Hayward, Santa Clara, San Jose, and San Mateo County, administering tenant-based rental assistance programs and coordinating housing support initiatives.
