Homelessness can happen to anyone with many households just three paychecks away from losing their home. While MCAH does not provide direct services, we encourage you to work with a provider in your area and hope we can guide you as you seek assistance to stay in your home or find new housing.
- If you are currently homeless or at-risk of losing your home, please contact 2-1-1 and get connected to local resources including eviction diversion, shelters, and more.
- The MI Bridges portal, operated by Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, connects people to resources and benefits, such as SNAP, SSI/SSDI, WIC, and more.
