The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army - Kansas And Western Missouri Division, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient to deliver comprehensive homelessness intervention and veteran family support services across Kansas and Western Missouri. The organization does not hold federal contracts; its federal footprint consists entirely of grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

The division's grant portfolio centers on two principal federal programs. Under HUD's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), the organization has received recurring project grants totaling over $1.5 million in recent awards to provide permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, case management, rental assistance, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Representative CoC grants include a $681,208 award effective February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2027, a $363,598 award effective December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026, and a $298,197 award covering December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2024. Under the VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (SSVF, CFDA 64.033), the organization has received multiple grants totaling approximately $12 million to provide required outreach, case management, VA and public benefits assistance, and temporary financial assistance for housing-related expenses to very low-income veteran families. A $2.4 million SSVF grant effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026 exemplifies this work, as does a $4.74 million award from August 2023. The division also receives per diem funding from VA to support transitional housing bed operations for homeless veterans.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward HUD and VA. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 72 awards (69% of the portfolio by count), while the VA's Veterans Health Administration Under Secretary for Health holds 27 awards and the VA's Veterans Health Administration itself holds 5 awards, together representing 31% of awards. Combined obligated dollars across 104 grants total $53.3 million. Activity has declined year over year — seven awards in 2022 to one award in 2026 year-to-date — with four awards (all HUD CoC grants) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete risk. The division operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient with no subcontract activity in the source record. Place of performance is Kansas and Western Missouri, with administrative oversight at the Kansas City headquarters.
