WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has awarded roughly $13.9 million to local homeless housing and service programs across Michigan.
The department said in a news release that the Continuum of Care grants were awarded Monday. According to the department, the grants build upon the roughly $56.1 million in funding that was awarded by HUD in Michigan through a first round of funding in March.
HUD Secretary Julian Castro said in the release that "these grants support local programs that are proven to prevent and end homelessness as we've come to know it."
