​

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. 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. This release of funding requires funds to be used solely for homeless youth populations, which are defined as unaccompanied youth who are between 12 and 24 years old and experiencing homelessness.

 

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 release of funding requires funds to be used solely for homeless youth populations experiencing homelessness. Funds spent under this provision must still also comply with the eligible use requirements of Health and Safety Code section 50220.7(e).

 

The Request for Proposals (RFP) provides the information and forms necessary to prepare a proposal for IVCCC’s Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Program - Round 3 youth set-aside grant funds. Qualified applicant(s) are invited to submit proposals in accordance with this RFP no later than Thursday June 20, 2024 at 4:00 p.m.
