Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Warren, Michigan received a $1,408,515 formula grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program (CFDA 14.241), effective September 17, 2025, through September 16, 2028. HOPWA formula grants are allocated to eligible metropolitan statistical areas and states to address the housing needs of low-income individuals living with HIV/AIDS and their families. The City of Warren, as a qualifying jurisdiction, will utilize these funds to provide a comprehensive range of housing assistance modalities, including permanent housing through both tenant-based (scattered site) and facility-based rental assistance, as well as transitional and short-term housing assistance, alongside supportive services and program planning costs designed to establish housing stability and reduce homelessness risk.

The City of Warren is implementing the HOPWA formula award through sub-grant agreements with Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency, a nonprofit organization with demonstrated expertise in housing and supportive services. Sub-awards to Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency (awarded November 4, 2025) include administration of a tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA) program on the city's behalf and provision of HOPWA Emergency Housing Assistance and related supportive services for fiscal years 2025-2026. The formula grant requires annual submission of performance reports documenting grant expenditures, program accomplishments, and household outcomes related to housing stability, homelessness prevention, and access to care and support services.
