Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $548,606 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to YWCA West Central Michigan. This one-year award from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025 supports the organization's efforts to provide transitional and permanent supportive housing, as well as rapid rehousing services, for homeless individuals and families impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault in Grand Rapids, Michigan. As a recipient of multiple HUD Continuum of Care grants over the years, YWCA West Central Michigan offers a range of comprehensive services tailored to the needs of domestic violence and sexual assault survivors, including emergency shelter, counseling, legal advocacy, and transitional housing. This federal funding enables the organization to continue its mission of promoting community-wide strategies to address homelessness and support vulnerable populations.
