Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network

Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, acts as a federal grant recipient and sub-recipient delivering permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, mental health and substance use disorder treatment, and mobile crisis response services across Wayne County. DWIHN operates as a prime recipient on the majority of its federal awards (55% prime, 45% sub-recipient), with no federal contracts in its footprint and a federal grant portfolio concentrated in homelessness intervention and behavioral health.

DWIHN's grant work splits between two dominant funders. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds 74 awards under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), supporting permanent housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) delivery across overlapping one-year cycles. Representative CoC awards include a $439,869 project grant for January–December 2026, a $645,810 award for November 2025–October 2026, a $505,216 grant for August 2025–July 2026, and a $385,672 award for August 2023–July 2024. DWIHN collaborates with sub-awardees including Southwest Counseling Solutions, Inc. (operating as Miside Health), Cots, Development Centers, Inc. (operating as Miside Early Years), and Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency, which provide complementary rental assistance, leasing coordination, and administrative services. The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration funds 59 combined awards across multiple sub-offices, including a multi-year Zero Suicide Initiative project grant running September 2023–September 2028, which implements system-wide suicide prevention across DWIHN's network of 300 providers in Wayne County through screening, evidence-based treatment, and care coordination, and a mobile crisis response grant effective September 2022–September 2024 supporting 24/7 crisis diversion teams and community-based outreach. DWIHN receives sub-awards from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services covering treatment and access management, child and women's specialty services, state opioid response, pre-admission screening, behavioral health workforce stabilization, and trauma-informed care initiatives; these sub-awards cluster in October cycles with multiple components per fiscal year.

DWIHN's award portfolio shows three completions in the next twenty-four months—a minor recompete cliff relative to the recurring annual CoC cycle. Activity peaked in 2023 with 36 awards, declining to 31 in 2024 and 10 in 2025, reflecting the structure of overlapping annual HUD CoC cycles rather than portfolio contraction. The vendor's 141 total awards since 2013 carry a combined obligated value of $85.7 million, with six distinct customer agencies represented; the top three funders (HUD CoC, SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services, and SAMHSA regional offices) account for 97% of award count. DWIHN's sub-recipient posture routes federal mental health and substance use funding through state-administered pass-throughs, positioning the network as a downstream service provider within Michigan's behavioral health infrastructure rather than a direct federal contractor.
