Background and Discussion:
HUD released a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the Fiscal Year 2022 Continuum of Care Program Competition on August 1, 2022. For the Houston/Harris County Continuum of Care (The Way Home Continuum of Care or “CoC”), the collaborative applicant is the Coalition for the Homeless of Houston/Harris County (Coalition), the CoC lead agency. Ranking and application submission are completed through approval of the Continuum of Care Steering Committee.
The Continuum of Care Program funds are used to provide rental assistance to people experiencing homelessness with serious mental illness, chronic problems with alcohol or drugs, or HIV/AIDS. The goal is to lead people experiencing homelessness toward economic self-sufficiency and independence. In addition, this program provides funds for eligible people experiencing homelessness with severe disabilities.
HCCSD requests approval for Harris County to apply for the renewal grant for FY2022 CoC Northline project in the amount $993,826 to renew the CoC Northline grant for the purpose of providing a safe living environment to people in Harris County experiencing homelessness through 53 scattered-site permanent supportive housing units.
Expected Impact:
FY2022 CoC Program funds for the Northline renewal project will increase funding availability for Harris County to continue to provide tenant-based rental assistance for people experiencing homelessness throughout Harris County.
Alternative Options:
There are no alternatives as Harris County Community Services Department has no other funding source that allows Harris County to provide scattered-site rental assistance and supportive services for residents experiencing homelessness in the Harris County area.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
X Housing
_ Public Health
_ Transportation

_ Environment
