About Collins Non-Profit Apartments
A recurring grant pattern defines Collins Non-profit Apartments Inc: in both 2024 and 2025, it awarded multimillion-dollar support to Csi Support & Development Services in Warren, Michigan, each time for the low-income housing mission. That continuity fits the foundation’s broader role in cooperative housing, where grants and favorable loan terms are used to preserve and grow affordable rental communities. Its stated work centers on CSI housing cooperatives and the services that help resident members thrive, including education, health and wellness, member services, capital improvements, new construction, and acquisitions. The foundation also makes program-related investments, indicating that its support can extend beyond grants into financing tools for housing projects. The existing program descriptions show a focus on acquisition support when allowable, alongside capital support for projects aligned with CSI’s mission. In practice, the foundation’s giving appears closely tied to the needs of cooperative senior housing communities and the organizations that manage them, with funding used to sustain affordability, support resident programs, and maintain or expand housing assets.
What Collins Non-Profit Apartments Funds
Collins Non-profit Apartments Inc supports affordable housing through acquisition, preservation, and capital work. Its program descriptions include favorable-terms acquisition and loan assistance for cooperatives, as well as grants and loans for capital improvements and new construction. It also funds projects that align with CSI’s mission to preserve and grow cooperative senior housing communities. Beyond buildings and financing, the foundation backs resident-facing services. One program supports educational opportunities, health and wellness initiatives, and other member services for housing cooperatives. Another explicitly frames grants for education, health and wellness, and program development within cooperative communities. The topics consistently connect housing stability with services for residents, rather than treating property support and member support as separate priorities.

The foundation’s recent grants cluster tightly around very large awards: the 25th percentile is $3,488,577, the median is $3,578,502, and the 75th percentile is $3,668,426. That narrow spread suggests a highly consistent grant size. The recipient appears across multiple years, with CSI Support & Development Services receiving grants in 2024 and 2025.
