Dalton council certifies three Continuum of Care applications for HUD funding
Summary
Council approved certification that applications from the Salvation Army, Dalton Whitfield Community Development Corporation and City of Refuge meet the city's five-year consolidated plan goals, enabling the agencies to apply for Georgia Continuum of Care funding for transitional housing and rental assistance.
The Dalton City Council voted Jan. 5, 2026, to certify three Continuum of Care funding applications required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
A city staff representative said the Salvation Army and the City of Refuge are new applicants; Dalton Whitfield Community Development Corporation has applied and received approval in the past. The applications set aside funds for transitional housing or rental assistance for people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
The council recorded a motion, a second and an affirmative vote to certify that the applications meet the objectives of Dalton’s five‑year consolidated plan, a required step for the agencies to apply for state Continuum of Care funding.
The council did not revise funding amounts or program details during the meeting; the applications will proceed through the state and federal application processes.
