  2.

Strategic Plan Goal(s)

Thriving Residents

Reason for Recommended Action/Background

The Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention (“HHAP”) Round 3 Initial Disbursement Funding Allocation provides the County with block grant funding to: 1) build on the regional coordination created through previous California Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council grant funding; and 2) to support local jurisdictions in their unified regional responses to reduce and end homelessness. 

On May 5, 2020 the Board authorized HHSA to participate in and receive funding allocations for HHAP Round 1 in the amount of $714,826.11. On July 27, 2021 the Board authorized HHSA to participate in and receive funding allocation for HHAP Round 2 in the amounts of $326,778.  Staff recommends authorizing acceptance of the HHAP Round 3 Initial Disbursement Funding Allocation to continue the regional responses to reduce and end homelessness.  The general purpose of these funds will be to continue to build on regional coordination developed through previous rounds of funding of the HHAP Program.

It is expected that the County will receive its HHAP Round 3 Remainder Disbursement Allocation in the amount of $731,981.94 after approval of the HHAP-3 application and full execution of the the resulting agreement, which will be brought to the Board for approval at a future date.
