​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 having clear pathways to connect people to permanent housing from a shelter or street outreach.

​​

The Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Program – Round 5 is a $1 billion grant initiative authorized by Section 17 of AB 129 and codified in Health & Safety Code § 50230 et seq., signed into law on July 10, 2023, by Governor Gavin Newsom. Released by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the program is exempt from standard rulemaking procedures and operates under guidelines established in this NOFA, which carry the legal weight of statute.

​

HHAP Round 5 funds are not just financial resources; they are tools used to continue to build regional coordination and a unified regional response to reduce and end homelessness. Your work, moving homeless individuals and families into permanent housing and supporting their efforts to maintain it, is instrumental in this endeavor.

​

The IVCCC seeks immediate and long-term housing and service providers who demonstrate their experience, capacity, and innovative service delivery. The goal is to expand and/or increase services and housing capacity to move homeless individuals and families into permanent housing and support their efforts to maintain their permanent housing using a best practices framework.

​

This RFP announcement provides the information and forms necessary to prepare a proposal for the HHAP Round 5 grant funds. Qualified applicants are invited to submit proposals in accordance with this RFP no later than February 18th, 2026, at 4:00 PM.
