Samaritas, a faith-based nonprofit organization based in Detroit, Michigan, received a Project Grant of $167,414 awarded on June 1, 2026, by the 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, with a completion date of May 31, 2027, supports Samaritas's efforts to address homelessness in the Detroit area through eligible CoC activities. Based on the organization's established service portfolio, funding may support one or more of the five authorized program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) operations.

The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by providing funding for nonprofit providers to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation. Samaritas's track record demonstrates expertise in delivering comprehensive housing stability and supportive services to vulnerable populations, including individuals experiencing homelessness, refugees, and at-risk youth. The organization's federal grant experience includes multiple CoC awards supporting permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, HMIS, and homelessness prevention initiatives. This award enables Samaritas to continue advancing the program's core objectives of increasing access to mainstream resources and optimizing self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Michigan.
