Support a $25 million appropriation to continue funding the Michigan Supportive Services Transformation Fund (SSTF), starting in FY26. This would provide critically needed ongoing funding for this program. Supportive housing is an evidence-based solution that combines affordable housing with tenant-centered supportive services to help people with extremely low incomes and complex challenges get and stay housed. 

Based on ongoing need, we are pursuing an annual $25M appropriation starting FY26 and recommend decreasing the state contribution as Medicaid reimbursement increases. This will ensure supportive housing providers have the necessary ongoing funding to provide consistent services to supportive housing residents.
