INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
On April 5, 2022, via Miscellaneous Resolution (MR) #22-035, the Board of Commissioners
authorized a one-time appropriation in the amount of $7,000,000 of SLFRF Funds for the Oakland
Together Housing Security Initiative to provide safe, attainable and accessible housing to residents
impacted by the COVID-19 health pandemic and the negative economic impacts in our
communities.
$5,000,000 of the Oakland Together Housing Security Funds were used to create a Shelter
Capacity Fund to increase the number of available emergency shelter beds for both individuals and
families experiencing homelessness in the community and to de-congregate currently available
units to improve safety and privacy.

SLFRF Funds to be used to increase the availability of affordable or attainable rental and
homeowner occupied housing throughout Oakland County.
