This federal Project Grant award of $326,193 made on March 11, 2025 is funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The purpose of the CoC Program is to promote community-wide strategies to end homelessness by providing funding to nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.
The grant funds will be used by the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) of St. Joseph, Missouri to provide a range of eligible CoC Program activities, including permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems (HMIS). As a nonprofit organization and woman-owned domestic shelter, the YWCA will leverage this funding to deliver emergency shelters, transitional housing, case management, counseling, childcare, workforce development, and assistance in securing permanent housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the St. Joseph area. The expected outcomes include decreasing the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness through performance measures such as reduced length of homelessness, fewer returns to homelessness, and increased exits to permanent housing.
