Homeless Programs

The Ann Arbor Housing Commission (AAHC) partners with local housing, shelter and service providers to house homeless households. The AAHC takes part in Housing Access of Washtenaw County (HAWC). HAWC provides a central intake process for households who are homeless or at risk of being homeless. Please contact 734.961.1999 if you are homeless or in danger of becoming homeless.

Continuum of Care

The Washtenaw County Continuum of Care (CoC) manages the community’s policies, strategies, and activities toward ending homelessness. Please visit the county's website for information.

Support services and housing

Permanent supportive housing provides affordable housing

and voluntary supportive services to meet the needs of those experiencing chronic homelessness. This “housing first” model provides housing without preconditions such as sobriety or participation in treatment services. Support services are key for many low-income or formerly homeless individuals and families to stay housed in affordable, healthy environments.

According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, studies show that Housing First reduces hospital visits and the length of hospital stays, and overall public system spending is reduced by nearly as much as is spent on housing. During 2020-2021 fiscal years, 91 percent of households living with the AAHC received support services during this period. Read the full report here.
