The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Children and Families awarded a $198,975 Project Grant under the Basic Center Program (CFDA 93.623) to the South Oakland Shelter, doing business as Lighthouse Mi, a non-profit organization based in Pontiac, Michigan. This grant, awarded on September 30, 2024, will fund the Lighthouse Sanctuary Basic Center Program for Runaway and Homeless Youth, which aims to provide emergency shelter, counseling, family reunification assistance, and referrals for healthcare and social services to runaway and homeless youth under 18 years old. As a sub-recipient, Lighthouse Mi has also received awards from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to support outreach, basic care center projects, and transitional living projects for the homeless population in the Pontiac and Southfield areas of Oakland County. Through this diverse funding, Lighthouse Mi plays a crucial role in community-wide efforts to combat youth homelessness and provide essential services to vulnerable individuals and families.
