Summary
The City of St. Louis Continuum of Care MO-501 (CoC) Board of Directors and the City of St. Louis Department of Human Services (DHS) jointly announce this notice seeking proposals for New Projects for the following U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)

Continuum of Care Supplemental to Address Unsheltered and Rural Homelessness
FR-6500-N-25S

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released a first-of-its-kind package of resources to address unsheltered homelessness and homeless encampments, including funds set aside specifically to address homelessness in rural communities.

This Special NOFO strongly promotes partnerships with healthcare organizations, public housing authorities and mainstream housing providers, and people with lived expertise of homelessness.

Through this Special NOFO, HUD will award funding to communities to implement coordinated approaches -- grounded in Housing First and public health principles -- to reduce the prevalence of unsheltered homelessness, and improve services, health outcomes, and housing stability among highly vulnerable unsheltered individuals and families. HUD expects applicant communities to partner with health and housing agencies to leverage mainstream housing and healthcare resources.
