​

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.

 

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. As a continuation of the HHAP Round 3 funding priorities, the Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council (HCFC) announced the availability of HHAP Round 4 funding for cities, counties, or continuums of care in the amount of not more than $800,000,000 (§ 50218.7). HHAP Round 4 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 4 funds are not just financial resources; they are tools 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 4 grant funds. Qualified applicants are invited to submit proposals in accordance with this RFP no later than January 7th, 2025, at 4:00 p.m.
