Federal Grant Award Summary

Shelter of Flint Inc. received a $353,859 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), effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. This award supports the organization's mission to address homelessness in Flint, Michigan, by providing emergency shelter, housing assistance, and comprehensive support services to approximately 600 individuals annually. The organization delivers safe shelter accommodations for 30-90 days, along with ancillary services including food, clothing, transportation, job training, coaching, and child services, with the primary objective of helping individuals transition to stable, affordable housing.

The CoC Program funding may be deployed across five primary components: permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing for persons with disabilities; transitional housing; supportive services only; Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS); and homelessness prevention activities. Eligible uses of funds encompass CoC planning activities, fiscal control and accounting functions, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs. This award aligns with the broader federal goal of promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation among homeless individuals and families.
