This $251,311 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (CFDA 14.267) supports the Missouri Department of Mental Health's Division of Behavioral Health in delivering a range of homelessness assistance services in Jefferson City, MO. The grant funds will be used to establish and operate projects under the CoC Program's key components, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The project aims to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the community by reducing the length of time people are homeless, preventing returns to homelessness, and increasing exits to permanent housing. The Division of Behavioral Health may partner with sub-recipients, such as nonprofit providers and local governments, to implement specific project activities, though the details of any sub-awards are unknown at this time.
