Fulton County Receives $2.8 Million in HUD Awards to Help People Experiencing Homelessness

February 12, 2024

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has awarded $2,814,593 million for FY 2023 renewal and expansion projects to the Fulton County Continuum of Care (FC CoC). This amount represents an increase of $279,192 over HUD’s allocation to the FC CoC in FY 2022.

The FC CoC includes all cities in Fulton County, except for Atlanta. Each year, HUD announces a competitive Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the CoC program nationally. As the FC CoC’s Collaborative Applicant, Fulton County prepares and submits the funding application on behalf of the FC CoC.

“We are appreciative of HUD’s approval to fund all renewal housing program applicants as well as approving funding to expand three of the programs. These programs and HUD’s funding are critical to our efforts to reduce unsheltered homelessness throughout the Fulton County Continuum of Care,” said Stanley Wilson, Director of the Fulton County Department of Community Development.

HUD’s announcement includes funding for existing and expansion projects for the FC CoC.
