About Mel Trotter Ministries
Mel Trotter Ministries, doing business as Mel Trotter Mission, is a Michigan-based non-profit organization and tax-exempt corporate entity that serves as a gospel rescue mission dedicated to ending homelessness in West Michigan. The organization provides meals, shelter, medical services, and permanent housing support to individuals experiencing homelessness while simultaneously operating community economic development initiatives that create employment opportunities and job training for low-income populations. Through its federal grant awards, Mel Trotter Ministries has positioned itself as a provider of comprehensive social services and workforce development programs designed to address both immediate homelessness needs and long-term economic self-sufficiency for disadvantaged populations.
Mel Trotter Ministries has received multiple Project Grants from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families under the Community Services Block Grant Discretionary Awards program (CFDA 93.570), totaling approximately $3.075 million in prime awards since 2021. The organization's grant-funded initiatives include the MISSION THRIFT program ($1.6 million, September 2022–September 2025), which provides community economic development services; the Jireh Metal initiative (awarded September 2023–September 2026) offering job training and employment services; the CHOP Tree Service expansion ($800,000, awarded September 2025–September 2028), which involves purchasing specialized equipment including four aerial basket trucks to create 30 new jobs in utility line clearing and vegetation management with 23 positions designated for low-income individuals; and the MTM CDC Planning initiative ($150,000, awarded September 2023–September 2025). Additionally, Mel Trotter Ministries received a $525,000 sub-award through the "Built to Last" project managed by Next Step of West Michigan (September 2021–September 2024) to support construction and wood product manufacturing employment. As a sub-awardee from the City of Grand Rapids, the organization has provided emergency shelter operations for persons experiencing homelessness and is currently constructing a new single-family home at 1828 Stafford Avenue SW in Grand Rapids for sale to an income-eligible household. These awards demonstrate the organization's multi-faceted approach to addressing poverty through direct service provision, workforce development, skills training, and permanent supportive housing initiatives.
