Michigan Department Of Human Services

Michigan Department Of Human Services is a U.S. state government entity registered with the federal government since 2003 to receive federal grant awards. The department functions as a prime grantee for formula and block grants administered through various federal agencies, primarily focused on supporting individuals with developmental disabilities across Michigan. Through its federal grant portfolio, the department delivers comprehensive support services and advocacy programs designed to enhance community integration, independent living, and self-determination for vulnerable populations in the state.

The Michigan Department Of Human Services has received consistent federal funding through multiple grant programs, demonstrating a sustained commitment to disability support services. The department's primary funding source has been the Administration on Aging (also referenced as the Administration for Community Living), which has awarded annual formula grants under the DD ACT State Councils on Developmental Disabilities (SCDD) program since at least 2021, with awards continuing through FY2026 at $843,260. Additionally, the department has received block grants from the Administration on Disabilities, including the SCPH (State Community Planning and Health) program in 2022 and the SCC5 program in 2021. Through these grants, the department implements a comprehensive system of support services that includes peer support, leadership development, community integration assistance, and independent living programs. The department leverages federal funding by distributing sub-awards to partner organizations including Mi Disability Rights, Wayne State University, Arc Michigan Inc., and Disability Network Southwest Michigan, which collectively facilitate advocacy, skill development, and community participation initiatives for individuals with developmental disabilities. The grant programs operate on annual cycles running from October through September, with completion dates extending up to 24 months, allowing the department to maintain continuous programming and expand service capacity throughout Michigan.
