This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) provides $114,778 to Preferred Family Healthcare Inc., a non-profit behavioral health organization, to support activities aimed at ending homelessness in the Kirksville, MO area.
The grant funding may be used for a range of eligible activities under the CoC program, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The expected outcomes include decreasing the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness, reducing the length of time individuals are homeless, and increasing exits to permanent housing. While the specific sub-recipient activities are unknown at the time of the award, the overall program is designed to promote community-wide efforts to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.
