Non-CoC Funding Opportunities 

​

The CSCoC serves as the Continuum of Care (CoC) for the counties of Amador, Calaveras, Mariposa and Tuolumne in California's Central Sierra foothill region. While certain funding is available through the CSCoC, other funding must be applied for directly by eligible providers for appropriate programs.  In order to help coordinate and plan services and initiatives surrounding homelessness, ensure that knowledge is shared, relationships are built, and common goals are reached, we are pleased to offer information on these funding opportunities here.

HUD Awards $1.1 Billion in American Rescue Plan Funds for Emergency Housing Vouchers


The initial allocation of Emergency Housing Vouchers allotted 200 vouchers to the regional area that includes the CSCoC (see line 72, via the Housing Authority of the County of Stanislaus).  

 

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Marcia L. Fudge today announced the awarding of the first tranche of American Rescue Plan funds for Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHVs) for individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.  Specifically, HUD is awarding $1.1 billion – 70,000 vouchers – for 626 public housing authorities (PHAs) administering the Housing Choice Voucher Program.  Click here for a full list of awards.

...

Today’s awarding of $1.1 billion in EHVs is part of $5 billion that the American Rescue Plan Act enabled HUD to allocate in additional vouchers to PHAs.  HUD allocated these vouchers to communities with the greatest need for EHVs and where local housing authorities demonstrated capacity to administer this vital assistance.  The EHV program serves geographically diverse housing needs, from high-cost urban areas to a large number of rural communities.  

...

EHV funding gives communities significant resources to assist individuals and families who are homeless; at risk of homelessness; fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking; or recently homeless.  EHVs help individuals and families find housing and remain stably housed long-term.

CDBG and CDBG-Coronavirus Response Programs

HUD has released a new Frequently Asked Questions document for Emergency Payments in response to coronavirus. Notably – the FAQ provides guidance that defines the covered period of 3-6 months as follows:

 

  • The emergency payments period begins when the payment is made, not when the household’s arrearages began. If a household is one or more months in arrears, a grantee may cover some or all of the amount in arrears within the first month of assistance and continue through the applicable consecutive period of assistance (3-6 months). 

​

ATTENTION:  HUD No Longer Using HUD Exchange for HUD-Issued Program/Competition Information

 

Effective immediately, HUD’s Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs (SNAPS) will use two different listservs on HUD’s website to communicate information regarding information developed by HUD/SNAPS concerning:

 

  • Continuum of Care (CoC) Program;

  • Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Programs;

  • Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP);

  • Other Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) developed by SNAPS; and

  • Any other information related to SNAPS programs and the work to end homelessness.

 

Information and guidance produced by HUD technical assistance providers regarding SNAPS programs remains on the HUD Exchange and new information will continue to appear.  However, please be advised that documents and communication written by SNAPS will no longer be distributed through the HUD Exchange listserv.  Please communicate this information to your homeless organizations, local government contacts, interested stakeholders, etc.

 

As soon as you can, please sign up for the listservs to avoid missing important information regarding the FY 2021 CoC Program Competition, including GIW release, and other information related to SNAPS programs.
