Information

Agenda Item Text:

Approve the Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) Grant Agreement AZ-H200016 with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the amount of $616,323 for program administration by the Housing Authority of Cochise County, effective March 1, 2021 to February 28, 2024.

Background:

Cochise County along with the Housing Authority of Cochise County continue to administer this program since 2004, serving hundreds of beneficiaries throughout Cochise County through services such as tenant-based rental assistance and short-term, rent, utility, and mortgage assistance. This is a renewal grant that does not require a dollar match or hiring new employees.  

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

If approved, the Housing Authority of Cochise County will begin administering this grant cycle from 2021-2024.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

If the grant is not approved, the benchmark of 22-25 households receiving Tenant-based Rental Assistance per month as well as the 30 families receiving Short-Term Rent, Mortgage, and Utility payments and 75 families receiving supportive services will have no other immediate alternatives.  In addition, it would impact the salaries of 1-3 existing employees. 

To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:

Please return 2 signed grant agreements to Anita Baca, Housing Authority via interdepartmental mail.
