"Arizona is sending $16 million in grant funding to community organizations and local governments across the state to expand homeless shelters and keep support services running. Gov. #KatieHobbs and the Arizona Department of Housing announced the awards, which will help recipients construct new shelter units and sustain programs for Arizonans experiencing #homelessness.

"According to KTAR News 92.3 FM, the money comes from the Arizona Housing Trust Fund and will go to 19 recipients altogether. The Arizona governor's office separately confirmed that the funding, drawn from the State Housing Trust Fund, is meant to help community organizations and local governments construct more shelter units.

"The largest individual grants went to UMOM New Day Centers and Flagstaff Shelter Services, which will each receive $2 million, per the KTAR report. UMOM said the investment will provide safe shelter, stability and a path forward for hundreds of women experiencing homelessness each year.

"Several organizations and municipalities are set to receive $1 million apiece, including the City of Phoenix, the City of Tucson, Keys to Change, Copa Health and the Primavera Foundation, the station's report notes. Central Arizona Shelter Services is slated for $901,000, while the Phoenix Dream Center will get $700,000. A New Leaf and the Justa Center will each receive $500,000.

"The grant funding will support organizations in Mesa, Tucson, Flagstaff, Prescott, Sierra Vista, Kingman and Bullhead City, extending the shelter push well beyond the Phoenix metro area, according to the same account. Gov. Hobbs said the funding will help more Arizona families access shelter and services to get back on their feet."

#DetroitMI - #CovenantHouse to hold annual #SleepOut to raise money to prevent #YouthHomelessness

Covenant House’s 13th Sleep Out brings together community leaders and professionals for one night on the streets

by Jay Scott Smith, November 9, 2026

DETROIT – "Youth homelessness has risen nationwide over the last five years, particularly in Detroit. On Nov. 19, Covenant House will host its yearly 'sleep out' to raise money to help change that.

" 'I always believe that in a city like ours and a country like ours with the resources that we have and the people that care, there should be no reason that anybody sleeps without a bed,' Meagan Dunn, Covenant House’s CEO, said on Sunday. 'I know that with some support, with some intervention, there’s opportunity to really make significant impacts for homelessness.'

"Hundreds of Metro #Detroiters — including local professionals and community officials — will trade their warm beds for cardboard boxes, tarps, and the cold pavement to spend a night on the streets to help raise money and end youth homelessness. It will be the 13th year the Sleep Out has been held in Detroit.

" 'This is more than an event: It is truly a movement,' she said. 'It’s about awareness and how we can help challenge the community to understand what homelessness could look like.'

" 'It’s not necessarily only the person that’s standing on the side of the street,' she added. 'It’s truly people that we see every single day, that we interact with every single day that are #unhoused or challenged in some ways to find a safe place to sleep.'

"The Sleep Out will be held at Covenant House, 2959 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd., in Detroit. Last week, the organization held its second sleep-out in #GrandRapidsMI.

"The particular focus of the Sleep Out will be on the issue of youth homelessness here in the city, which has drastically increased over the last 5 years."
