Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency (Wayne Metro) $520,673 through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) effective June 1, 2026, with completion targeted for May 31, 2027. This grant funds the establishment and operation of housing and supportive services projects in Detroit, Michigan designed to address homelessness and housing insecurity. Wayne Metro will utilize these funds across eligible CoC program components including permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS).

The funding supports Wayne Metro's delivery of comprehensive services to homeless and at-risk individuals and families, including housing navigation, case management, coordinated entry services, homeless prevention, and rental assistance. As a established nonprofit community development organization with demonstrated experience administering federal homelessness programs, Wayne Metro leverages this CoC funding as part of its broader portfolio of federally-funded initiatives to address poverty, homelessness, and community development across Wayne County. The award contributes to HUD's national effort to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while minimizing trauma and dislocation caused by housing instability.
