| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention Program (“HHAP”) is administered by the California Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council (“HCFC”) in the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency (“BCSH”). In Yolo County, HHAP funds are allocated in two separate allocations to the Continuum of Care for Davis, Woodland/Yolo County (“CoC”) and to Yolo County (“County”). HHSA serves as the administrative entity for the CoC.
On May 5, 2020 the Board authorized HHSA to participate in and receive funding allocations for HHAP Round 1 in the amounts of $771,593.44 for the CoC and $714,826.11 for the County, for a total of $1,486,419.55 in the 2019-20 budget.
HHAP Round 2 provides additional flexible block grant funds to Continuums of Care, large cities (population of 300,000+) and counties as defined in the November 13, 2020 HHAP-2 Notice of Funding Availability (“NOFA”) to build on the regional coordination created through previous HCFC grant funding and support local jurisdictions in their unified regional responses to reduce and end homelessness. The general purpose of the Program is to continue to build on regional coordination developed through previous rounds of funding of the Homelessness Emergency Aid Program
Staff recommends authorizing acceptance of the HHAP Round 2 allocations to continue the regional responses to reduce and end homelessness. |
