September 1 Update
On behalf of the entire COTS team and families we serve, THANK YOU all so much for helping us to raise $675 to help families overcoming homelessness. We could not do this without you!

We're participating in the 2020 Rock Family of Companies Community Challenge! Please make a donation today to support families experiencing and overcoming homelessness in Detroit.
For nearly 40 years, COTS has been committed to serving the most vulnerable members of the Detroit community by providing emergency shelter, affordable housing, permanent supportive housing, and more. COTS creates opportunities for families overcoming poverty to collaborate, thrive, and succeed in building strong and stable households, neighborhoods, and communities.
COTS began as an emergency shelter and today is one of the largest providers of housing to homeless families in the City of Detroit. In addition to a family-only emergency shelter with on-site licensed Early Head Start, COTS operates almost 200 units of Permanent Supportive Housing throughout Wayne County. This Fall, we will add another 56 units of two and three-bedroom units for families to our portfolio. COTS provides housing and support to more than 1,000 people annually, sixty percent of whom are children. COTS programs operate within our Passport to Self-Sufficiency™ two-generation framework. The Passport to Self-Sufficiency™ assists families in reaching their housing, economic, health, education and career goals through coaching, mentorship and support as they overcome homelessness and break the cycle of poverty for the next generation and beyond.
