Regional Planning Grant to Prevent & End Homelessness

The Regional Planning Grant to Prevent and End Homelessness is designed to support the capacity of Greater Minnesota Continuums of Care (CoCs) and Tribal Nations to prevent and end homelessness while improving the regional homeless response system to help it be more equitable.

The goal of this grant is to focus on ongoing collaborative efforts and develop new initiatives that coordinate strategies among various stakeholders. Enhancing efforts among stakeholders is meant to help regions throughout Minnesota be more effective when advancing goals to prevent and end homelessness.

Eligibility

Eligible applicants include:

•    Federally recognized Tribal Nations (or Tribally designated housing entities) within the state of Minnesota.
•    CoCs: A nonprofit or governmental entity can apply on behalf of a Greater Minnesota CoC. An eligible applicant must have an official designation from the CoC.

These funds are intended to support regional planning strategies that prevent and end homelessness by increasing capacity for coordination, system planning, and equitable access to housing resources. Funded efforts must align with HUD CoC goals and state homeless program priorities to ensure a cohesive statewide response.

Through collaborative planning, data-driven decision-making, and partnerships with local service providers, Tribal Nations, and community organizations, these activities will help build regional capacity, improve service delivery, and ensure that all Minnesotans, particularly those in rural and Tribal communities, have access to safe, stable, and affordable housing.
