This $574,466 Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), supports efforts to address homelessness in Jefferson City, Missouri. The grant funds a range of eligible activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention.
The Missouri Department of Mental Health, through its Division of Behavioral Health, will utilize the funding to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. The agency may partner with local nonprofits and organizations as sub-grantees to enhance service delivery across the community. The expected outcomes include a decrease in the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness, as measured by indicators such as length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing.
