The City of Detroit anticipates receiving a Federal Grant for emergency shelter and certain supportive services for the homeless in July 2009. Approximately $1.6 million in total funding is expected.
The City is now inviting tax-exempt nonprofit organizations, which have at least one year's experience in providing shelter and/or assistance to the homeless to submit proposals for funding consideration. Renewal applicants should base their request on the amount awarded in 2008, this includes the amount awarded for each activity. Program Requirements and the City Application Forms are enclosed.
