Federal Grant Award Summary

Avalon Nonprofit Housing Corporation received a $119,078 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) awarded on June 1, 2026, with completion by May 31, 2027. This funding supports Avalon's comprehensive housing and supportive services delivery in Ann Arbor, Michigan, addressing homelessness and housing insecurity in Washtenaw County. The organization utilizes CoC Program funds to provide permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing initiatives, transitional housing, case management and supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) operations, implementing a "housing first" model designed to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.

As a critical community resource receiving consistent annual federal funding ranging from $100,000 to $870,000, Avalon leverages this CoC award to support eligible program components including project planning, real property acquisition and rehabilitation, rental assistance, operating costs, and related administrative functions. The CoC Program funds enable Avalon to collaborate with Washtenaw County and other service providers to serve vulnerable populations, including homeless individuals, families, persons fleeing domestic violence, and youth ages 24 and younger, while advancing HUD's national goal of ending homelessness through community-wide coordination and evidence-based housing interventions.
