Additional Comments: |
Based on the most recent data for each metropolitan area, Fair Market Rents (FMR) have risen approximately 20%. As such, we have updated the award amount to reflect the change from the FY2022 FMR used in the application to the FY2023 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 ratify the submission of Healthy Living Consolidated Project (HLCP), a 2022 renewal application for the Southern Nevada Homelessness Continuum of Care (CoC) consolidated grant application due on September 30, 2022 to HUD; authorize the Administrator of Human Services to sign all grant documents; accept any grant funds awarded; and authorize the continuation of one (1) Part Time Hourly Management Assistant or equivalent position, contingent on award from HUD.
HLCP is a permanent supportive housing (PSH) project written in response to the 2022 Notice of Funding Availability for the CoC, and approved by the CoC Board on September 15, 2022 for inclusion in the 2022 Southern Nevada Homelessness Continuum of Care consolidated application to HUD. HLCP ranked 19 out of 27 in the local scoring and ranking process and has been placed in Tier 1 of the consolidated application.
HLCP provides 95 units of housing to individuals and households experiencing homelessness that are medically fragile and are referred from hospitals, managed care organizations or other providers. Stable housing placement and intensive case management is provided in coordination with match and leveraged resources for medical support and access to addiction and mental health counseling to build toward self-sufficiency and increase client success. HLCP is a public-private partnership between CCSS serving as the fiscal agent, HELP of Southern Nevada providing the client service delivery, and three (3) Managed Care Organizations (MCO) (Health Plan of Nevada, Anthem, and Silver Summit) providing medical case management and supplementing the grant funds for client service delivery and supportive services.
CCSS is applying for $1,490,493 for twelve (12) months of services with a project term of October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024, and the grant includes annual renewal options through the local CoC process. The $1,490,493 amount reflects the current totals based on the 2022 FMR used in the application. The final grant award amount will be calculated based on increased 2023 FMR and is anticipated to total $1,728,513. HLCP will receive cash match resources of $200,000 from the CCSS Contract with HELP of Southern Nevada. HLCP will receive cash match resources of $660,000 from the partnering MCOs. Grant funds will be used to support one Part Time Hourly Management Assistant to conduct monthly quality assurance reviews and support the work of this grant.
