The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $130,079 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to Underground Railroad, a non-profit organization in Saginaw, Michigan. The funding supports Underground Railroad's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness. Through this grant, the organization will provide a range of eligible activities, including permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and potentially homelessness prevention services. The grant aims to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Saginaw community by addressing performance indicators such as length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing. Underground Railroad will leverage this federal funding, along with sub-awards from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and the Office on Violence Against Women, to deliver a comprehensive suite of services, including housing stability assistance, temporary accommodations, counseling, job training, and mental health/substance abuse treatment.
