Hillcrest Ministries Of Midamerica, Inc.

Hillcrest Ministries Of Midamerica, Inc., doing business as Hillcrest Transitional Housing, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization that receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to establish and operate housing and supportive services for homeless individuals and families. The organization operates as a prime recipient under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) and manages grant sub-awards in the Liberty, Missouri area.

Hillcrest's federal footprint is concentrated entirely within HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, which accounts for 14 awards (74% of recent activity). The organization has received recurring annual Continuum of Care grants starting in January 2022, with the most recent award of $415,210 issued on August 1, 2026, running through July 31, 2027. Combined obligated dollars across all federal awards total $3.4 million. Hillcrest operates as a prime recipient on 74% of its awards and as a sub-recipient on 26%, including a July 2022 sub-award under which the organization provided eight transitional housing apartments in Independence to homeless clients, coupled with case management services designed to assist clients with employment, budgeting, life skills, counseling, welfare-benefit reduction, and transition to permanent housing.

Under the Continuum of Care Program, Hillcrest deploys funding across five program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, homeless management information systems, and homelessness prevention. Eligible uses include acquisition and rehabilitation of real property, new construction, operational costs, and supportive services delivery. Activity has declined year over year from three awards in 2022 to a single award in each of 2023 through 2026, reflecting the annual award cycle of the underlying grant program rather than vendor growth or contraction. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
