Project Grant MI0826Y5F002200

This Project Grant award of $779,682 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (CFDA 14.276) supports the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) in developing and implementing a coordinated community approach to preventing and ending youth homelessness. Key activities to be performed include providing rental assistance, supportive services, and operating costs for supportive housing; implementing a homeless management information system; and delivering administrative support. MSHDA will sub-award portions of the grant to local non-profit organizations, such as Community Action Agency, Mid Michigan Community Action Agency, Eightcap, Alger-Marquette Community Action Board, and Northeast Michigan Community Service Agency, to provide youth navigation services, including access, assessment, prioritization, and referral for homeless and at-risk youth populations across multiple Michigan counties. The goal is to significantly decrease youth homelessness and improve the socioeconomic outcomes of participants through this coordinated community effort.
