Waterford Charter Township's recent federal grant activity demonstrates a diverse portfolio of community services and infrastructure improvements. The township has been a consistent recipient of Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, with multiple formula grant awards dating back to 2021 covering periods through 2033, which fund housing development, economic opportunities, and community viability projects for low- and moderate-income residents. In addition to CDBG funding, the township received a $500,000 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency in September 2025, which supports fire department and emergency medical services infrastructure improvements, equipment procurement, training programs, and health and wellness initiatives with a two-year performance period.

Beyond prime grant awards, Waterford Charter Township has received sub-grant funding as a pass-through recipient, including a 2023 Elections Security Grant Reimbursement from the Michigan Department of State and COVID relief project funding from the State of Michigan. This grant portfolio reflects the township's commitment to emergency services, public safety technology, community development, and election administration.
