The Imperial Valley Continuum of Care Council (IVCCC) would like to invite qualified applicant(s) to apply for funds to address the needs of transitioning homeless individuals and families into permanent housing while supporting the efforts of those individuals and families to maintain their permanent housing. Proposals should be housing first focused by either funding permanent housing interventions directly or have clear pathways to connect people to permanent housing from a shelter or street outreach. 

 

On July 19, 2019, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill 140 (Health & Safety Code § 50218.6, et seq.), which authorized a $1 billion block grant - HHAP, Round 3. HHAP Round 3 is designed to build on regional coordination developed through previous rounds of the Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP), HHAP, and COVID-19 funding.

 

HHAP Round 3 funds should be used to continue to build regional coordination and a unified regional response to reduce and end homelessness informed by a best-practices framework focused on moving homeless individuals and families into permanent housing and supporting the efforts of those individuals and families to maintain their permanent housing.

 

The IVCCC is seeking responses from housing and services providers that demonstrate their experience, capacity, and innovative service delivery to expand or increase services and housing capacity to move homeless individuals and families into permanent housing and supporting the efforts of those individuals and families to maintain their permanent housing using a best practice framework.

 

This RFP announcement provides the information and forms necessary to prepare a proposal for the HHAP Round 3 grant funds. Qualified applicants are invited to submit proposals in accordance with this RFP no later than Thursday, February 29, 2024 at 4:00 p.m.
