Helping People Get Back on Their Feet

The Housing Department’s Grants Management team oversees vital programs to help the City’s most vulnerable residents truly stabilize their lives and bring hope to those living outdoors while reducing some of the immense trauma they face. 

Making Sure Help Goes Where It’s Needed

The Grants Management team’s work includes more than disbursing funds. The team oversees how grantees are using their funds to ensure the money is spent appropriately and in alignment with agreed-upon goals and objectives. 

Funding Changes Every Year

The funds the team works with and change from year to year and depend on solicitations released by the Federal government, state, or private partnerships.
