Macomb County assistance programs

Rent and Homeless Assistance Program
Hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal government stimulus grants have been provided to Macomb County Michigan. The funds will be used to provide first month’s rent and also pay for security deposits for those struggling with rent.

A total of two grants were renewed to provide rent and leasing assistance. One was for almost $210,000 and the second grant was for over $210,000. These assistance programs provide permanent supportive housing for families and clients who pay 30 percent of their income to cover a portion of housing expenses. Grant money will also pay for remaining expenses and it will provide caseworkers to assist families and individuals in need.
