This $208,147 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) supports the efforts of Humankind Ministries Wichita Inc., a non-profit domestic shelter organization, to address homelessness in Wichita, Kansas.
The grant funding enables Humankind Ministries to provide a range of services, including operating homeless shelters capable of housing up to 325 individuals nightly, offering isolation housing for COVID-19 positive homeless persons, delivering case management services, and supporting transitions to permanent housing. Specifically, the organization uses the federal grant funds to cover staff salaries, contract labor, utilities, supplies, personal protective equipment, and food for shelter residents. Additionally, Humankind Ministries has utilized the grant to purchase apartment furnishings, bedding, and other supplies needed to transition individuals to permanent housing. The grant also supports COVID-19 testing for unsheltered guests and staff at the organization's homeless service sites. As a sub-recipient under the City of Wichita, Humankind Ministries demonstrates a strong partnership with the local government in addressing homelessness in the community.
