Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Missouri Department of Mental Health, Division of Behavioral Health, received a $251,902 Project Grant award dated August 1, 2026, from the U.S. 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 supports eligible activities to establish and operate projects addressing homelessness in Jefferson City, Missouri, with a performance period extending through July 31, 2027.

Under this CoC Program award, the Division delivers services across one or more of five core program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, or Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). Eligible costs may also support CoC planning activities, unified funding agency fiscal control and accounting functions, acquisition or rehabilitation of structures for housing or supportive services, new construction, leasing, rental assistance, operating costs, and related supportive services. As a repeat CoC recipient with substantial portfolio concentration in the program, the Division provides these homelessness intervention services as part of a broader state-level effort to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness while maximizing self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing housing instability.
