Summary of Request:
On September 29, 2023, the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH; formerly the Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council (HCFC)) of the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency (BCSH) released the Round 5 Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP-5) application. Mendocino County Department of Social Services submitted the online application for HHAP-5 on March 29, 2024. The HHAP-5 application required local jurisdictions to collaboratively develop a Regionally Coordinated Homelessness Action Plan (RCHAP), which is included in the HHAP-5 application, and in the proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Mendocino County Homeless Services Continuum of Care (MCHSCoC). For the HHAP-5 funds, Cal ICH allocated $873,302.17 to Mendocino County and $910,247.84 to MCHSCoC, for a combined total of $1,783,550.01. Mendocino County will serve as the Administrative Entity for the combined fund total.
The HHAP-5 application was collaboratively developed with the MCHSCoC by the Mendocino County Department of Social Services in partnership with the Executive Office and submitted on March 29, 2024. The application submitted included a draft MOU, which is a requirement of the application. The submission of an executed MOU, and any amendments to the Mendocino County HHAP-5 application are due no later than May 26, 2024. As such, Mendocino County Department of Social Services is seeking approval of the application submitted on March 29, 2024, approval to submit an amended application, and approval of the proposed MOU, which contains the RCHAP that was collaboratively developed with the MCHSCoC.
