A huge thank you to everyone who helped prepare this years application! To prepare the best application possible for our community took a team effort. Avalon Housing, Interfaith Hospitality Network, Michigan Ability Partners, Ozone House, SafeHouse, SOS Community Services, WHA, HAWC, SAWC, OCED staff, the Funding Review Team, the CoC board, and many other community providers worked around the clock to submit necessary project information, complete project applications, review projects, and write narratives. The combined efforts resulted in a strong community application that will help us end homelessness in Washtenaw County! Everyone deserves a huge pat on the back!
