Federal funding shifts from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) are causing major disruptions to homelessness programs. Recent policy changes aim to cap permanent housing funding at 30%, pushing billions of dollars away from the traditional "Housing First" model and toward transitional housing, addiction recovery, and self-sufficiency services.Local Impact & Housing ProtectionsWho is Affected: Individuals relying on Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) and Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) funded through the Continuum of Care (CoC) program face uncertainty.Section 8 & Vouchers: Programs like Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) and site-based permanent housing continue to operate, though they also face proposed budget cuts and legislative debate on the federal level.Detroit & Michigan: Organizations in Detroit and across Michigan rely heavily on CoC dollars to maintain permanent supportive housing. The sudden funding shifts are causing strain on local service providers navigating these new, competitive funding constraints.Legal Interventions: Court challenges have temporarily blocked some of these funding cuts and policy changes, creating an unstable environment for both housing providers and vulnerable tenants.If you are a Detroit resident facing a potential loss of housing, you can contact the City of Detroit Housing and Revitalization Department or use the City of Detroit Housing Locator for assistance. For regional resources, you can reach out to the Homeless Action Network of Detroit (HAND) by visiting the HAND Detroit website to find local CoC-funded service providers and emergency housing help.12 sitesPress Release: NEW: Gov.
