DMH Housing is a resource for Missourians with mental health disabilities who need housing assistance; and for agencies wanting to create their own supportive housing for people with disabilities. Contact us at 573-751-9206 and [email protected].
DMH Housing works with all three of DMH's divisions to help link mental health services consumers to rental assistance through the Shelter Plus Care program. We also make efforts to expand housing options for mental health services consumers in the state; assist in creating partnerships between housing developers and non-profit agencies in the development of affordable rental units statewide; and work to increase rental assistance and homeownership opportunities for mental health services consumers.
Detailed information about our programs, as well as information about housing resources in Missouri, is available at our Web site, www.dmh.mo.gov/housing.
The mission of the Department of Mental Health's Housing Unit is to assist Missourians challenged by mental illnesses, substance abuse/addictions and developmental disabilities in obtaining and maintaining safe, decent and affordable housing options that best meet their individual and family needs. The DMH Housing Unit believes that housing is a key to helping Missourians with disabilities and their families attain self-determination and independent living.
