Federal Grant Award Summary

Alternatives For Girls received a $500,000 Project Grant from the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women under the Transitional Housing Assistance for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Stalking, or Sexual Assault program (CFDA 16.736), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028. Through the "My Choice" Transitional Housing Assistance project, the Detroit-based nonprofit will provide victim-centered transitional housing and comprehensive support services to survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking who are homeless or in need of housing assistance.

The project will deliver twenty-four scattered-site transitional housing units operated through private landlords to accommodate twenty-four survivors and their families in an urban Michigan region. Support services will include rental and utility assistance, case management, safety planning, victim advocacy, housing advocacy, and financial assistance to facilitate the transition to permanent housing and community integration. Clients will receive services for a minimum of six months to a maximum of twenty-four months, with the project implemented in collaboration with Oakland Family Therapy. This initiative addresses gaps where emergency shelter or crisis intervention services are unavailable or insufficient for the target population.
