Federal Grant Award Summary

The Greater Kansas City Coalition To End Homelessness received a $259,141 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, effective June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027, supports the Coalition's role as the lead coordinating agency for the Kansas City metropolitan area's homeless services network. Through this funding, the organization delivers comprehensive services designed to address homelessness through five primary program components: permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing for homeless individuals and families (including persons with disabilities), transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) operations, and homeless prevention activities.

The Coalition utilizes CoC Program funds to support eligible activities including CoC planning coordination, real property acquisition and rehabilitation for housing and supportive services, new construction, rental assistance, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, job training, housing counseling, and shelter operations. These coordinated efforts are designed to promote self-sufficiency, minimize trauma associated with housing instability, and facilitate permanent housing transitions for vulnerable populations in the Kansas City region, including unaccompanied youth, pregnant or parenting youth, and families experiencing homelessness.
