Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded Avalon Nonprofit Housing Corporation a Project Grant of $455,556 under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) effective May 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for April 30, 2027. This award supports Avalon's delivery of comprehensive housing and supportive services to homeless individuals and families in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area. The CoC Program funds five primary service components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention activities.

Avalon will utilize these funds to support eligible program activities including planning costs, real property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating expenses. As an established nonprofit provider with over $15 million in cumulative federal funding since 2004, Avalon implements a "housing first" model designed to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting access to mainstream resources and self-sufficiency. The organization coordinates closely with Washtenaw County stakeholders to deliver integrated housing solutions and supportive services across the community.
