BACKGROUND:
Clark County Social Services request that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approve the submission of
the grant application to HUD for the Southern Nevada CoC Unsheltered Notice of Funding Opportunity HMIS
Project, and authorize the County Manager to accept any grant funds awarded. This is a 12-month project with an
opportunity to apply for an annual renewal as part of the CoC consolidated application. Clark County has
successfully applied and received grant funds for HMIS activities since 2022. Funding is anticipated to start July 1, 2027.
Pursuant to 24 CFR 578.7(b), HUD requires communities and recipients of CoC Program, Emergency Solutions
Grant, and other federally funded programs to implement a HMIS and collect data on homelessness. A HMIS is
designed to collect client data, generate unduplicated client counts, and track service utilization. Collected data is
used by the local jurisdictions and HUD to understand homelessness in the region, plan for services, and allocate
funding to end homelessness.
CCSS is applying for $120,000 and will provide $30,000 cash match. This renewal application will continue to
provide software licensing and administration to the CoC. This grant application will be incorporated into the 2026 Southern Nevada CoC consolidated application that is anticipated to be due to HUD in the Fall of 2026.
The item has been approved as to form by the District Attorney’s office.
