Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Northwest Michigan Supportive Housing (doing business as FMH) received a $369,568 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). The award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027, supports the organization's mission to address homelessness in the Traverse City, Michigan region through comprehensive housing and supportive services. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation for individuals and families experiencing housing instability.

FMH utilizes CoC Program funding to deliver services across five eligible program 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. The organization's grant-funded activities include case management, mental health care, job training, and housing relocation services, with specific objectives to reduce homelessness duration, minimize returns to homelessness, and facilitate successful transitions to permanent housing. These initiatives support both individuals and families experiencing homelessness, including vulnerable populations such as persons fleeing domestic violence and youth ages 24 and younger, while promoting self-sufficiency and stable housing outcomes.
