Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has awarded a $156,741 Project Grant under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) to South Oakland Shelter, doing business as Lighthouse Mi, a non-profit organization in Pontiac, Michigan. This funding will support Lighthouse Mi's efforts to provide a comprehensive range of housing assistance and supportive services to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in Oakland County while minimizing the trauma of homelessness and promoting self-sufficiency. The services delivered through this grant include transitional housing, rapid re-housing, rental assistance, emergency shelter operations, homelessness prevention, and case management support. As a sub-recipient, Lighthouse Mi has also received additional awards from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to fund outreach, basic care center projects, and transitional living projects for the local homeless population. This federal grant award will be in effect from November 1, 2023, through October 31, 2024.
