About the company
Ruth Ellis Center Inc., a nonprofit organization based in Highland Park, Michigan, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering permanent and transitional housing, rapid re-housing assistance, mental health services, HIV housing assistance, and outreach programs to homeless LGBTQ+ youth and young adults of color. The organization functions predominantly as a sub-recipient (83% of recent awards), receiving pass-through funding from state and regional prime grantees, with a smaller prime-recipient footprint anchored to HUD's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267).
Ruth Ellis Center's customer concentration tracks primarily to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which accounts for a substantial share of the organization's federal grant activity. Within HHS, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) represent the principal grantor offices; these three HHS components collectively cover 81% of awards in the recent footprint. The organization also holds direct prime awards from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Continuum of Care Program, including a $221,848 Project Grant awarded on October 1, 2024, running through September 30, 2025, and a longer-duration Economic Development Initiative award issued on February 17, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2030.
The bulk of Ruth Ellis Center's federal funding flows as sub-awards routed through the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, which serves as the prime grantee on multiple pass-through awards. Recent sub-recipient activity includes funding for the Transitional Living Project, Outreach and Basic Care Center Project, HIV Housing Assistance (linked to the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative), and the Children Trust MI Direct Service program. The organization also acts as a sub-recipient under grants from the Regents of the University of Michigan (supporting research implementation and peer health education around legal gender affirmation and economic assistance) and from the Homeless Action Network of Detroit (delivering permanent supportive housing and case management to youth experiencing literal homelessness or fleeing domestic violence under the Youth Homeless Demonstration Program).
Award activity shows growth from single awards in 2020 and 2022 to a spike of 21 awards in 2023, followed by 11 awards in 2024 and 6 through the first quarter of 2025. Combined federal dollars obligated across the recent footprint total $4.5 million. The organization has secured sub-awards from partners including the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, the City of Detroit, and the University of Michigan, expanding its service delivery across housing, health, and employment support for vulnerable LGBTQ+ populations in the Detroit metropolitan area.
