MHTF-110

Page 1 of 2

Missouri Housing Trust Fund

FY 2020 Allocation Plan

General Information:

The Missouri Housing Development Commission (MHDC) is charged with the responsibility of

administering the Missouri Housing Trust Fund. The state Legislature created the Missouri Housing Trust

Fund in 1994, pursuant to RSMo 59.319. Monies in the fund shall be used solely for the purposes

established by RSMo 215.034 - 215.039.

Missouri Housing Trust Fund monies shall be used to provide housing and housing services to individuals

and families with incomes at or below 50 percent of the area median income. Fifty-percent of the funds

must be used for individuals and families at or below 25 percent of the area median income.

Establishment of Funds:

The Missouri Housing Trust Fund is supported by a recording fee of $3 for each real estate document

filed in the state of Missouri. Therefore, the amount of funds that can be allocated by MHDC is dependent

upon the level of real estate recording activity.

Allocation of Funds

Grant Type Allocation:

MHDC has identified the following grant types as categories to meet the needs of Missourians:

1. Housing Assistance: available to organizations that provide housing assistance to literally

homeless individuals and families

2. Emergency Assistance: available for organizations that provide housing assistance to individuals

and families at immediate risk of becoming homeless

3. Operating Funds: available for organizations that provide housing or housing services for the

purpose of paying salaries and benefits necessary for operation of the organization. Priority will

be given to Operating Funds requests that are paired with another MHTF grant type

4. Home Repair or Modifications: available to organizations that provide housing services for the

payment of certain repairs or modifications of homeowner-occupied single-family homes

5. Construction / Rehabilitation: available for organizations that provide housing for the purpose

of payment of costs of new construction or modification or rehabilitation of existing facilities

It is the purpose of the Missouri Housing Trust Fund to serve the greatest housing and housing service

needs in the state with attention given to the lowest-income residents in the areas where those needs exist.

These established grant types allow the Missouri Housing Trust Fund’s limited resources to be dedicated

to services that best serve the population in greatest need.

Cap on Funds Requested:

Applicants may not request funds in excess of $150,000 per grant type with a maximum of $300,000 per

entity, per grant cycle.

MHTF-110

Emergency Solutions Grant Program

2020 Allocation Plan

General Information:

The Missouri Housing Development Commission (MHDC) is responsible for administering the Missouri

State Allocation of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Emergency Solutions

Grant (ESG) Program funds granted to MHDC by the Missouri Department of Social Services (DSS).

These funds are provided through a federal grant from the Department of Housing and Urban

Development (HUD) under the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program, as amended by the Homeless

Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 (HEARTH Act), the Missouri

Department of Social Services under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program, and

from other funding sources as they become available.

FY2019 Funds Available:

The Missouri Housing Development Commission, in conjunction with the Missouri Department of Social

Services will make an amount of up to $3,307,300.00 available to Missouri applicants for program year

2020 distributed geographically according to this Allocation Plan.

Grant Priorities

The purpose of the Emergency Solutions Grant Program is to support programs within Missouri

communities that prevent homelessness and rapidly return households who experience homelessness to

stable housing. These funds should be targeted and coordinated with other homeless services in the

Continuum of Care. HUD regulation states that at least 40 percent of an ESG allocation must be spent on

Rapid Re-housing and Homelessness Prevention activities and that no more than 60 percent of the

allocation can be spent on Emergency Shelter and Street Outreach activities. The eligible activities for

which funding is available are as follows:

1. Rapid Re-Housing: to assist individuals and families who are “literally homeless” under the HUD

definition of homelessness to transition quickly into permanent housing and to achieve housing

stability through financial assistance and services.

2. Street Outreach: to provide essential services such as case management and engagement for

unsheltered homeless individuals and families.

3. Emergency Shelter: to provide essential services for shelter participants or for shelter operations.

4. Homelessness Prevention: to assist individuals and families who are imminently homeless under the

HUD definition of homelessness to prevent homelessness and to regain stability in their current

housing or other permanent housing through financial assistance and services.

*Administration and HMIS activities are also allowable activities

Effective Date: May 29, 2019
