Project Grant MO0218L7E012308

The City of St. Louis Homeless Services Division, a local government entity, received a $541,391 Continuum of Care Program grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (CFDA 14.267) to provide a range of housing and supportive services aimed at quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families in the St. Louis metropolitan area. The grant funds emergency shelter, transitional and permanent supportive housing, case management, counseling, job training, and financial assistance. The Homeless Services Division partners with local nonprofit organizations such as St. Patrick Center, Depaul USA, Covenant House Missouri, and Interfaith Residence (Doorways) to directly deliver these comprehensive services, which address the trauma of homelessness and promote self-sufficiency among the homeless population. This grant award is part of the City of St. Louis's broader efforts to combat homelessness through federal funding sources, including sub-awards from state agencies to support related initiatives in areas such as domestic violence services, senior care, tuberculosis control, and HIV prevention.
