The City of Detroit has announced a three year, $9.2 million investment to help unhoused families move out of emergency shelter and into stabilized housing.
The Homeless to Housed initiative will provide families with 6- 12 months of rental assistance, help them find a home, and provide additional support along the way.
The program touts that it will assist up to 140 households each year with this program, which is approximately 500 Detroiters each year.
In a press conference for the program, the city’s first ever Chief Executive of Health, Human Services and Poverty Solutions Dr.
Luke Shaefer says this program is about more than providing shelter.
“Its about creating pathways to stability.
The mayor has challenged us to build a system where homelessness is rare, brief, and non recurring.”
Shaefer also describes how they were able to fund this program.
“This didn’t happen by accident…it happened because dedicated public servants were willing to rethink how we use available resources, they strategically aligned federal emergency solutions and grant funding to launch the Homeless to Housing initiative leaning into the mayor’s charge to us.”
Priority for this program will be given to families with minor children.
This program is also expected to free up space in existing shelter homes to provide assistance to other Detroiters facing homelessness.
