This federal Project Grant award of $186,904 was issued on March 11, 2025 by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The grant funds will support Comprehensive Youth Services Inc., a non-profit organization based in Mt. Clemens, Michigan, in delivering a range of housing assistance and support services to prevent and end homelessness, particularly among runaway and at-risk youth under age 18.
Key activities to be performed under this award include providing emergency shelter, transitional housing, street outreach, and wraparound support services to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency. Comprehensive Youth Services Inc. will leverage this CoC Program funding, as well as additional grants from the Department of Health and Human Services, to operate initiatives like the Harbor Basic Center Program, Wings of the Harbor Transitional Living Program, and the Cypress Place Street Outreach Program. Through this holistic approach, the organization aims to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the local community.
