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 New Beginnings (NB), a 2022 renewal application for the Southern Nevada Homelessness Continuum of Care (SNH CoC) consolidated grant application due on September 30, 2022 to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (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 HUD funding.
NB is a permanent supportive housing (PSH) project written in response to the 2022 Notice of Funding Opportunity for the SNH CoC, and approved by the SNH CoC Board on September 15, 2022, for inclusion in the 2022 SNH CoC consolidated application to HUD. NB ranked 14 out of 27 in the local scoring and ranking process and has been placed in Tier 1 of the consolidated application.
NB provides PSH for 126 individuals experiencing chronic homelessness, as defined by HUD. Stable housing placement is provided in coordination with match and leveraged resources for wraparound intensive case management and supportive services to increase client success.
CCSS is applying for $1,480,696 for twelve (12) months of services with a project term of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, and the grant is eligible to apply as a renewal project annually through the local SNH CoC process. The $1,480,696 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 $1,766,692. NB will receive in-kind matching resources of $441,673 from the CCSS Intensive Case Management Contract with HELP of Southern Nevada. These 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.
