Project Grant MO0098L7E062518

The Missouri Department of Mental Health, Division of Behavioral Health, received a $194,432 Project Grant 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, dated June 1, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2027, supports the state's efforts to address homelessness through community-wide initiatives designed to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation.

Under the CoC Program, the funding supports eligible activities across five program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention efforts. The award enables the Division of Behavioral Health to deliver critical services such as case management, housing assistance, operational support, and coordination activities that promote access to mainstream programs and optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness across Missouri.
