The HHAP Round 2 is a $300 million block grant program authorized by AB 83, which was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newson on June 29, 2020. The Notice of Funding states HHAP funds should be prioritized to assist people experiencing literal homelessness move into safe, stable housing with a particular focus on rehousing individuals currently living in Project Roomkey sites. HHAP funding should be housing focused - either for permanent housing directly or to have clear pathways to connect people to permanent housing.
