The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $1,455,523 Continuum of Care Program grant (CFDA 14.267) on March 11, 2025 to the Missouri Department of Mental Health, Division of Behavioral Health. The grant funding supports the agency's efforts to provide a range of services under the Continuum of Care Program, which aims to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. Eligible activities include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The Division of Behavioral Health will utilize the grant funds to establish and operate projects across these different program components, with the expected outcome of decreasing the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the region. While the specific subrecipient activities are unknown at the time of the award, the Division frequently partners with universities, nonprofits, and local organizations to enhance service delivery across Missouri.
