About supportive housing grants

Supportive housing grants fund nonprofits that pair affordable, permanent housing with services for people experiencing homelessness, disabilities, or chronic health and behavioral-health needs. HUD's Continuum of Care program is the primary federal source, with permanent supportive housing making up the largest share of its funding, complemented by health, behavioral-health, and foundation funders for the services side.

What grants are available for supportive housing?

Supportive housing funding covers both the housing and the wraparound services, including rental assistance, case management, and connections to health and behavioral-health care. HUD's Continuum of Care program funds permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing, while other federal and state programs help pay for the supportive services that help residents stay housed.

Does HUD fund supportive housing?

Yes. HUD's Continuum of Care program is the largest federal funder of permanent supportive housing, which makes up the majority of its funding and serves homeless individuals and families with disabilities. Nonprofits typically apply through their local Continuum of Care, the regional planning body that coordinates HUD homeless-assistance funding.

How do nonprofits access supportive housing funding?

Because HUD homeless-assistance dollars are awarded through local Continuums of Care, nonprofits should engage with their regional CoC, which ranks and submits projects to HUD. Pairing CoC housing funds with Medicaid, behavioral-health, and foundation dollars for services is the common model for sustaining supportive housing programs.
