DETROIT (AP) — Efforts to reduce homelessness among veterans in Michigan are getting a boost.
The Michigan State Housing Development Authority Board recently approved a $2 million Housing Development Fund grant for the Michigan Veterans Foundation.
The money will support the construction of a new building to house services for veterans in Detroit.
The center will provide an array of services for homeless and low-income veterans in Detroit and southeastern Michigan.
MSHDA funding is contingent on the developer securing sufficient operating revenues and community support for the $14 million project.
The board also approved a $750,000 Housing Development Fund grant that provides rental assistance for up to six months to veterans experiencing homelessness.
