Missouri Revised Statutes § 215.038 defines the range of housing projects that qualify for state financial assistance under the Missouri Housing Development Commission's program (sections 215.034–215.039). Eligible projects span a broad spectrum, from limited equity cooperatives and rent subsidies to new construction, rehabilitation of vacant properties, single-room occupancy units, shelters for the homeless, and emergency aid to prevent homelessness. The provision also covers capacity-building grants for newer rural nonprofit housing organizations, infrastructure improvements, mortgage insurance, and housing-related services such as home maintenance programs.

For Property Managers

Property owners and housing developers seeking state assistance should review § 215.038 to determine whether their project type falls within the enumerated eligible categories, which include new construction, rehabilitation of vacant rental properties, single-room occupancy units, and single-family housing, among others. Operators of multifamily units seeking rent subsidies under this section generally ensure their properties are free of municipal or county housing code violations, as compliance is a stated eligibility condition for existing units. Those managing limited equity cooperatives should note that under § 215.038, monthly cooperative fees are treated as rental rates for program purposes.

For Tenants

Section 215.038 of Missouri's housing statutes outlines the types of assisted housing projects that may benefit residents, including rent-subsidized units, shelters, emergency rental and mortgage assistance, and housing for elderly and low-income residents in rural areas. Tenants living in or seeking placement in assisted housing may find it useful to know that existing units receiving rent subsidies under this provision must not be in violation of local housing codes, which can be relevant when raising habitability concerns. Tenants who believe their assisted housing does not meet applicable standards may consider contacting a local tenant-rights organization or the relevant housing authority to understand what remedies or complaint processes may be available under the broader program established by sections 215.034–215.039.
