Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of St. Louis Homeless Services Division received a $255,733 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. This award funds activities designed to address homelessness in the St. Louis metropolitan area through five primary program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. Eligible uses of these funds encompass real property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, CoC planning activities, Unified Funding Agency administrative costs, and direct assistance services such as emergency shelter, case management, counseling, and job training.

The City of St. Louis Homeless Services Division administers these federal resources in collaboration with local nonprofit partners including St. Patrick Center, DePaul USA, Covenant House Missouri, Interfaith Residence (Doorways), and Horizon Housing Development Company. Through this funding mechanism, the division delivers comprehensive housing and supportive services aimed at quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families, minimizing trauma associated with homelessness, and promoting pathways to self-sufficiency. This award represents part of the division's sustained engagement with HUD's CoC Program, which has provided the division with numerous grants ranging from approximately $118,000 to over $1 million annually since at least 2021.
