Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Missouri Department of Mental Health, Division of Behavioral Health, received a $409,730 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The award, dated July 1, 2026, with completion by June 30, 2027, supports the establishment and operation of homelessness intervention services in Jefferson City, Missouri. Under this grant, the Division delivers eligible CoC program components that may include permanent supportive housing for individuals with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) to assist homeless individuals and families in achieving housing stability and self-sufficiency.

The CoC Program, administered by HUD, is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and minimize the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness through coordinated service delivery. The Missouri Division of Behavioral Health is a repeat recipient of CoC funding and has established itself as a primary state-level administrator of homelessness intervention services across Missouri, leveraging federal grant resources to support vulnerable populations in rapid transition to permanent housing solutions.
