BACKGROUND:
Clark County Social Services requests that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approve the submission of the grant application to Nevada Housing Division for the ESG 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.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.
As the HUD-designated statewide HMIS Lead, Clark County Social Services successfully applied and received
grant funds from NHD ESG grant since 2015. This renewal application will continue to provide software licensing and administration to this CoC.
CCSS is applying for $56,298 from the Nevada Housing Division ESG funds. These funds will serve as the match
for the Northern Nevada and Rural Nevada/Balance of State CoC HUD grant funds. This renewal application will
continue to provide software licensing and administration to the CoCs. This project will be part of the application
that is anticipated to be due to NHD in the Fall of 2026.
The item has been approved as to form by the District Attorney’s office.
