About Alliance for Housing Oakland County Continuum of Care
Alliance for Housing Oakland County Continuum of Care’s grantmaking is built around Oakland County’s HUD Continuum of Care system, where it serves as the Collaborative Applicant and runs the local competition for project renewals, new projects, and bonus projects. That role makes the foundation’s giving less about a traditional open application cycle and more about coordinating housing funds across local providers working in homelessness prevention, rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, and related services. Its largest recent awards show the scale of that coordination. Community Housing Network Inc. received $42,884,169 in 2023 for prevention and rehousing, while Lighthouse of Oakland County received $16,725,018 the same year for staff and administration. In the same period, Olsha received $8,806,169 for staff and administration, reflecting a pattern of large operational awards that support the systems behind housing placement and shelter response. The foundation also supports organizations serving people experiencing homelessness and households at risk of homelessness through emergency shelter, staffing, facility support, and program administration. Recent grants to Hope, Common Ground, Girls Matter, South Oakland Shelter, South Oakland Citizens for the Homeless, and Haven show that the portfolio includes both core system partners and smaller shelter-related awards.
