HHAP-1:

• • One-time funds to provide local jurisdictions with funds to support regional coordination and expand or develop local capacity to address their immediate homelessness challenges.

• • Statutorily, funds must be fully expended by June 30, 2025.

• • Does not require a shelter declaration, but did require demonstration of partnership and collaboration with the County and the City (if a large City, which San Diego is).

HHAP-2

• • One-time funds to build on regional coordination developed through previous rounds of HCFC funding-HEAP, HHAP, and COVID-19 Emergency funding.

• • Statutorily, funds must be fully expended by June 30, 2026

• • HHAP awards have been made and awarded 17 contracts, will be receiving around $3.1M.

• • Client Flex funds were taken out of the contracts and will be using the RTFH Resolution Strategies. This will allow more providers to access funding and ensure funding is proportional to need. The amount requested by HEAP grantees exceeded the amount of HHAP funding made available in this first round of funding.

• • HHAP Round 1 and 2 will be combined to be spent over a 3-year period currently targeted for July 1, 2022-June 30, 2025 – this time frame can be adjusted as needed and allows us to act if there is an immediate need as well.
