Michigan's Campaign to End Homelessness Action Plan 2026-2028

Michigan faces a critical challenge: thousands of residents experience homelessness each year, and affordable housing remains out of reach for many. The Michigan Campaign to End Homelessness (MCTEH) has developed a bold, collaborative plan to address these issues head-on. This document outlines big goals, key strategies, and a vision for the future that inspires action and hope.

In this update to the MCTEH Action Plan, we recognize the seismic shifts happening with critical safety net programs, while focusing on highly actionable goals that will help us meet the moment, tamp the impacts of those changes, and lead to impactful results. We strengthen our commitment to racial equity and authentic engagement with people with lived experience by building off work completed under the 2023-2025 Action Plan. We also include a continued commitment to increasing deeply affordable and supportive housing, and preventing homelessness whenever possible. 

In addition to the specific goals and strategies outlined below, the MCTEH upholds the following commitments in implementation of this Action Plan:

  1. Ensure people with lived experience of homelessness provide ongoing guidance on implementation of the Action Plan.
  2. Counteract existing racial inequities and ensure implementation of the Action Plan does not perpetuate inequities.
  3. Use data to measure progress and create accountability.
  4. Provide transparency and consistent communication from state departments to those in the field.

The 6 Goals from the Action Plan include:

Goal 1: Increase amount of safe, accessible & affordable housing targeted to households experiencing homelessness. 
Goal 2: Enhance homelessness prevention and diversion efforts, targeting resources to households most at risk of becoming homeless.
Goal 3: Reduce racial disparities among households experiencing homelessness and authentically engage people with lived experience of homelessness in statewide and local work.
Goal 4: Collaborate and build relationships across statewide systems that are critical to preventing and ending homelessness.
Goal 5: Collaborate with and support communities and homeless service providers navigating and responding to the changing federal and state landscape.
Goal 6: Advocate for increased funding to support homeless services and housing and for policies that improve outcomes for people experiencing homelessness.
