Ministry With Community (MWC) and Kalamazoo Gospel Ministries (KGM) together will provide up to 210 nighttime shelter beds, plus 25 during extreme weather.

For day shelter, the two organizations collectively will offer over 200 spots: those normally provided by MWC, plus 50 to be available through KGM. The program also starts Nov. 2, a month earlier than in 2025.
Total amount budgeted for the project is $979,398, with funding from Kalamazoo County, the City of Kalamazoo, the City of Portage, the Kalamazoo County Continuum of Care (CoC) and United Way of South Central Michigan (UWSCMI)…
