Shelter Of Flint Inc.

Shelter Of Flint Inc., a nonprofit organization based in Flint, Michigan, is a federal grant recipient (26% of recent awards as prime recipient) that operates emergency shelter, permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, and comprehensive homelessness support services funded primarily through the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The organization also receives sub-grant awards from Michigan state agencies and operates with a 74% sub-recipient footprint across federal and state homelessness and nutrition programs.

Shelter Of Flint Inc.'s federal customer concentration is narrow and dominated by homelessness support funding. The top three funding sources account for 83% of recent awards: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (15 awards), the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (7 awards), and the Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (7 awards), across a total of three distinct customer agencies. HUD CoC awards are the primary vehicle for the organization's direct prime grant work. In the current grant cycle, Shelter Of Flint Inc. holds a $588,229 Project Grant under CoC (award date April 1, 2026, completion March 31, 2027) and a $353,859 Project Grant under CoC (award date July 1, 2026, completion June 30, 2027), funding permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems. The organization serves approximately 600 individuals annually through emergency shelter (30 to 90 days), food, clothing, transportation assistance, job training, coaching, and child services.

Shelter Of Flint Inc. has been a longstanding CoC recipient since 2010 and has historically leveraged sub-awards from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, and the City of Flint to expand permanent housing and recovery housing capacity. Recent sub-grant activity includes five sub-awards from the Michigan Department of Education to support USDA programs in Michigan (awarded between October 2025 and April 2026), three sub-awards from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services under the Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness program (awarded between October 2023 and October 2025), and a $79,400 sub-award from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority as fiduciary agency for the Recovery Housing Program (July 9, 2024) to provide transitional housing for individuals in recovery from substance use disorders in Genesee County through April 30, 2026. Activity has fluctuated modestly — from two awards in 2022 to a peak of ten in 2024, with five awards in 2026 — and only three awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, creating limited recompete exposure in the near term. The organization's federal footprint remains geographically anchored to Flint and Genesee County, Michigan, with no federal contract prime awards and no parent contract vehicles.
