Federal Grant Award Summary

Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency received a $238,890 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The award, dated May 1, 2026 with a completion date of April 30, 2027, supports the organization's ongoing efforts to address homelessness in the Detroit, Michigan area through eligible CoC program activities. As a prime recipient with an established track record administering multiple CoC awards, Wayne Metro utilizes funding to establish and operate projects across five program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS).

The CoC Program funds enable Wayne Metro to deliver comprehensive housing and homelessness prevention services to homeless individuals and families across Wayne County and Michigan. Eligible activities under this award include CoC planning costs, acquisition and rehabilitation of structures for housing or supportive services, new construction, leasing and rental assistance, operating costs, supportive services, and HMIS operations. These services align with the program's broader objectives to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness, minimize trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness, and optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing housing instability.
