Youth homelessness is about more than the loss of housing; it’s about the loss of critical connections to family, community, school, and employment.

SEOH CCP

The Missouri Balance of State Continuum of Care (MO BoS CoC) has worked tirelessly to gain funding for homeless service agencies throughout 101 rural counties of Missouri. Though funding has been consistent, the MO BoS CoC is pleased to accept 6.8 million dollars from HUD’s Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP), which will support a variety of housing programs, including rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, and host homes. “YHDP recipients will use their funding to address youth homelessness that is specifically tailored to their needs, including funding for housing units, wrap-around services, and housing support,” from HUD’s press release announcing all recipients of this funding.

The Missouri Balance of State is excited to have this opportunity to benefit youth homelessness in rural areas of Missouri that may not have been reached previously. The 6.8-million-dollar grant will create a shift in youth homelessness in Missouri that has never been seen before.

The Missouri Balance of State Continuum of Care is a membership organization that works to connect homelessness support organizations to resources, funding and clients. To learn more go to: moboscoc.org, for questions contact: support@moboscoc.org
