    About Homeless Action Network of Detroit

    Homeless Action Network of Detroit channels very large grants into a single mission: leadership to end homelessness in Detroit. The grant record shows a clear pattern of funding the same local organizations across multiple years, with the largest awards going to agencies working under the city’s homelessness response system. Wayne Metro Community Action Agency received $111,631,127 in 2023 and $76,016,306 in 2024, both for addressing homelessness. United Community Housing Coalition also appears in consecutive years, with $40,797,358 in 2023 and $30,950,930 in 2024 for the same purpose. Those awards sit alongside smaller grants to Detroit-based partners such as The Heat and Warmth Fund, United Way of Southeastern Michigan, Community and Home Supports, and Alternatives for Girls. The foundation’s structure as a pure DAF provider and its local geographic scope fit a grantmaking model centered on coordinated homelessness services rather than broad discretionary philanthropy. The recent grants point to sustained support for organizations that work on housing placement, emergency response, and service coordination within the Detroit Continuum of Care area.

    What Homeless Action Network of Detroit Funds

    A major strand of HAND’s work is coordinated homelessness response. In 2026, it posted local project application materials for the Detroit Continuum of Care, including new project competition and renewal project processes for Detroit, Hamtramck, and Highland Park. Another line of activity centers on youth homelessness: the YHDP Funding area covers Detroit, Hamtramck, and Highland Park and is tied to youth homelessness initiatives. HAND also coordinates state housing resources in the same geography through MSHDA funding pages and local application processes. Its program pages include street outreach, transitional housing, supportive services, coordinated entry, and rapid rehousing, showing a systems-level role in how projects are selected and organized for the local CoC.

    How Homeless Action Network of Detroit Gives

    The grant-size profile is highly uneven: the 25th percentile is $205,484, the median is $407,921, and the 75th percentile is $35,874,144. That spread reflects a mix of very large multiyear or program-level awards and much smaller operating-scale grants. Recipients do reappear across years, including Wayne Metro Community Action Agency, United Community Housing Coalition, United Way of Southeastern Michigan, Community and Home Supports, and Alternatives for Girls. The foundation is classified as a pure DAF provider, and the available grant history shows no individual giving or program-related investments. Its grantmaking is local, with all tracked grants going to Michigan recipients.
