U.S. Housing and Urban Development has awarded $190 million in new grants, including almost $4 million to local organizations, to assist homeless assistance programs.

The funding will provide support to 550 local projects that will offer housing and support services to nearly 20,000 homeless individuals and families over the extended lifetime of the grants.

Grants were awarded to organizations statewide, including more than $515,000 to the city of Springfield, $1 million to Boston’s HomeStart program, $116,524 to Quincy’s Wismar’s Project, $205,340 to Framingham’s South Middlesex Opportunity Council and $153,165 to Fall River’s Thresholds.

Last December, HUD awarded nearly $1.4 billion through its Continuum of Care programs to renew funding to 6,445 existing local programs. The grants build on that investment by funding new projects, awarded by competition and funded through the 2009 Continuum of Care funds.
