This federal Project Grant award of $631,487 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) was provided to the Saginaw County Community Mental Health Authority to support efforts to quickly house homeless individuals and families in Saginaw, MI and minimize the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness.
The grant funds may be used for a variety of eligible activities under the CoC Program, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. As the primary awardee, the Saginaw County Community Mental Health Authority will serve as the lead entity in coordinating these efforts within the local community. While the specific sub-recipient activities are not known at the time of award, the overarching goal is to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Saginaw area through evidence-based interventions that promote housing stability and self-sufficiency.
