Federal Grant Award Summary

The Missouri Department of Mental Health, Division of Behavioral Health, received a $119,031.00 Project Grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by providing federal funding to rapidly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation associated with housing insecurity.

Under this award, the Missouri Department of Mental Health will deliver services aligned with one or more of the CoC Program's five core components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). Additionally, the funding may support eligible activities including CoC planning costs, unified funding agency operations for fiscal control and accounting, property acquisition and rehabilitation for housing or supportive services, and homelessness prevention initiatives. These services are performed in Jefferson City, Missouri, and are intended to promote self-sufficiency and access to mainstream support programs for homeless individuals and families experiencing housing insecurity.
