Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded a Project Grant of $678,011 to Saginaw County Community Mental Health Authority under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by providing funding to establish and operate projects that quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation.

Under this award, Saginaw County Community Mental Health Authority will deliver services across five primary program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). Eligible activities funded through this grant include acquisition and rehabilitation of structures for housing, new construction, leasing, rental assistance, operating costs, supportive services, CoC planning activities, and fiscal control and accounting functions. As a county-level government entity with established capacity in community mental health and social services, the authority will utilize these funds to address homelessness and support vulnerable populations within the Saginaw County region.
