Housing trust fund

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded the Missouri Housing Development Commission $3.242 million on September 25, 2025, under the Housing Trust Fund program (CFDA 14.275). The funding supports production, preservation, and rehabilitation of rental housing for extremely low-income and very low-income households across Missouri, with performance through September 25, 2032. The Commission administers the award from Kansas City, Missouri. Under Housing Trust Fund rules, the recipient must commit all funds to projects within 24 months and expend them within five years, with drawn funds required to be expended within 15 days. HTF allocation plans must be submitted no later than August 16, 2026, and the Commission must maintain records documenting compliance for the most recent five-year period, plus five additional years beyond the required period of affordability for each property assisted.
