Super Notice of Funding Opportunity (SNOFO)
On October 2, 2023, RTFH issued a Super Notice of Opportunity (SNOFO) that identified $9.1M of Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention Program (HHAP) and $4.5M of Bezos Day 1 Family Funds available to the community. RTFH identified eligible activities of the funding and priorities grounded in the Regional Community Action Plan to Prevent and Homelessness in San Diego, with the overall goal to fund projects that align with the Regional Plan and focus on access and movement toward housing for people experiencing homelessness; housing retention to reduce returns to homelessness; centering the voices of people with lived or living experience; and addressing equity and inclusion. RTFH received applications that exceeded the available funding and initiated an extensive process of meeting with applicants to review their proposals in an effort to fund as many projects as possible. Although not all projects were eligible or funded, we received overwhelming feedback that applicants appreciated the opportunity to meet with RTFH to further discuss their proposals. RTFH would like to express our deep appreciation for the time and dedication of everyone. These engaged conversations resulted in some exciting projects with the La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians and a Shared Housing Collaborative with the City of La Mesa, the City of Vista, and Townspeople.
RTFH has awarded 28 contracts, totaling $9,834,359.46, which includes 6 youth specific programs and 2 projects dedicated to people with lived or living experience. RTFH is also funding 16 providers with Resolution Strategies to assist in rapidly rehousing people experiencing homelessness, who have the means to return to permanent housing and be diverted from the homeless response system. Please see the SNOFO Awardees below.
