The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $219,696 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) grant to the Heart of West Michigan United Way in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The funding will support the organization's efforts to address homelessness in the local community. The grant allows the Heart of West Michigan United Way to provide a range of eligible services, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. As a sub-awardee, the organization will manage grants from other sources, such as the Michigan State Housing Development Authority and the City of Grand Rapids, to further expand its initiatives in areas like rapid rehousing, housing assistance, and coordinating community efforts to end homelessness. The grant aims to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness, with a focus on reducing the length of time spent homeless, preventing returns to homelessness, and increasing exits to permanent housing.
