Additional Comments: |
Based on the most recent data for each metropolitan area, Fair Market Rents (FMR) have risen approximately 10% on average each year FY24 to FY26. As such, we have increased the award amount 10% to account for the anticipated change from the FY25 FMR used in the application to the FY26 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 Services (CCSS) requests that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approve and authorize the submission of the Stability, Tenancy, Access, Restore Permanent Supportive Housing (STAR PSH) renewal grant application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the amount of $1,497,500 for the period December 1, 2027 through November 30, 2028 to provide permanent supportive housing to individuals experiencing chronic homelessness; authorize the County Manager, or his designee, to sign all related documents, accept any funds awarded, and authorize the continuation of two (2) limited-perm Family Services Specialists (C28), one (1) limited-perm Youth and Adult Intervention Specialist (C29), one (1) limited-perm Family Services Assistant (C22), and three (3) Part Time Hourly Management Assistants, or equivalent positions, contingent on grant award from HUD for the period the grant funds are available.
STAR PSH is a permanent supportive housing (PSH) renewal project that will be submitted in response to the 2026 Notice of Funding Availability for the Southern Nevada Homelessness Continuum of Care (CoC) that is expected to be awarded in the spring of 2027. STAR PSH is a renewal project and was originally awarded in 2017. STAR PSH provides PSH for at least 67 households experiencing chronic homelessness, as defined by HUD. Stable housing placement is provided in coordination with 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 2026 Notice of Funding Availability to begin in June 2026 and intends to submit the STAR PSH renewal application with BCC approval.
CCSS is applying for $1,497,500 for twelve (12) months of services with a project term of December 1, 2027 through November 30, 2028, and the grant is eligible to apply as a renewal project annually through the local SNH CoC process. The 1,497,500 amount reflects the current grant award of $1,361,231 with an anticipated increase to FMR. STAR PSH requires 25% matching resources which equates to $374,375 for a total project cost of $1,871,875.
This agenda item requests permission to submit the application for the STAR PSH renewal project.
This item has been approved as to form by the District Attorney's office.
