Additional Comments: |
Based on the most recent data for each metropolitan area, Fair Market Rents (FMR) have risen approximately 15% on average each year FY22 to FY24. As such, we have increased the award amount 15% to reflect the anticipated change from FY24 FMR that will be used in the application to the FY25 FMR HUD will use to award project funds. As FMR changes, we expect the award amount to vary each year based on the current FMR for our community, not the FMR for the year in which the application was submitted. |
BACKGROUND:
Clark County Social Service (CCSS) requests that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approve and authorize the submission of the New Beginnings (NB) renewal grant application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the amount of $2,031,700 for the period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026 to provide permanent supportive housing to individuals experiencing chronic homelessness; authorize the Deputy County Manager, or her designee, to sign all related documents, accept any funds awarded, and authorize the continuation of one (1) Part Time Hourly Management Assistant or equivalent position, contingent on grant award from HUD for the period the grant funds are available.
NB is a permanent supportive housing (PSH) renewal project that will be submitted in response to the 2024 Notice of Funding Availability for the Southern Nevada Homelessness Continuum of Care (CoC) that is expected to be awarded in the spring of 2025. NB is a renewal project and was originally awarded in 2007 and has met performance goals since that time. NB provides PSH for 126 households experiencing chronic homelessness, as defined by HUD. Stable housing placement via rental assistance funds is provided by the grant in coordination with match and leveraged resources for wraparound intensive case management and supportive services to increase client success and movement toward self-sufficiency. Based on previous CoC competition cycles, CCSS anticipates the local application process for the 2024 Notice of Funding Availability to begin in June 2024 and intends to submit the NB renewal application with BCC approval.
CCSS is applying for $2,031,700 for twelve (12) months of services with a project term of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, and the grant is eligible to apply as a renewal project annually through the local SNH CoC process. The $2,031,700 amount reflects the current grant award of $1,766,692 with an anticipated increase to FMR. NB will receive in-kind matching resources of $507,925 from the CCSS Intensive Case Management Contract with HELP of Southern Nevada. Grant funds will be used to support one (1) Part Time Hourly Management Assistant to conduct monthly quality assurance reviews and support the work of this grant.
This agenda item requests permission to submit the application for the NB renewal project.
This item has been approved as to form by the District Attorney's office.
