This $236,209 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) supports the Missouri Department of Mental Health's Division of Behavioral Health in providing a range of community-based services to address homelessness. The funding will enable the agency to quickly house homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma caused by homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency. Eligible activities include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The award, which is effective March 11, 2025, builds on the Division's previous partnerships with the federal government in areas such as data integration, value-based payment models, and tobacco retail compliance inspections. While the specific sub-recipient activities are not detailed, the CoC Program is designed to foster a community-wide commitment to ending homelessness through collaborative efforts by nonprofit providers, state and local governments.
