Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded a Project Grant of $495,809 to Neighborhood Service Organization (NSO) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. NSO, a Detroit-based nonprofit organization, will utilize these funds to deliver comprehensive homelessness services across Wayne County, Michigan, including permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) operations. The funding supports NSO's longstanding CoC operations, which have been in place since 2011 and include case management, housing counseling, rental assistance, street outreach, job training, and behavioral health integration services designed to quickly house homeless individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency.

The CoC Program funds eligible activities that establish and operate projects through five key components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, HMIS, and homelessness prevention. NSO coordinates these services with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and the City of Detroit to minimize trauma and dislocation while optimizing outcomes for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. This award reflects NSO's continued capacity as a prime CoC recipient and contributes to the organization's broader federal portfolio of $57.3 million across multiple homelessness and behavioral health initiatives.
