Subject:Application for 2013 Consolidated Application for McKinney-Vento Continuum of Care Funding
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
just over $9.7 million in McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance funds. The annual Consolidated Application, in
response to the HUD NOFA for Continuum of Care Funding, is a primarily source of funding to Contra Costa
County agencies for providing housing and services for the homeless. Historically, Contra Costa County has received
our established “pro rata” need – all of which goes to supportive housing and services to homeless individuals and
their families in Contra Costa County.
The CCICH has established a process for the 2013 NOFA that is aligned with HUD priorities and provides for the
continual strengthening of the County’s Consolidated Application. HUD is insistent that the application demonstrates
clear evidence of community oversight through the planning body of homeless services. The CCICH has approved
the community process and timeline for the development of the County’s Consolidated Application this year.
The County Homeless Program is working with CCICH and community agencies to strengthen this year’s
application and maximize the amount of HUD funding that comes to Contra Costa agencies.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this application is not approved, County will not receive McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance funds to support
housing and services for homeless individuals.
