Homeless Action Network of Detroit

Since 1996, HAND has served as the lead entity for the Continuum of Care for the cities of Detroit, Hamtramck, and Highland Park, Michigan. We work with a wide range of organizations including service providers; community development organizations; and local, state, and federal government entities to find and implement solutions to end homelessness in our community.

HAND manages annual funding applications to the State and Federal government, resulting in over $25 million in homelessness programming coming to our community annually. HAND is also a core resource for all things data related on homelessness. We oversee and manage our community’s Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), ensuring we have accurate information on who is homeless in our community, their needs, and what works to address those needs.
