Notice of Funding Availability
PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING COLLABORATIVE NOFA
LAHD has partnered with the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) and the following three Los Angeles County Agencies: The Department of Health Services, Mental Health, and Public Health, to offer gap financing, operating subsidy, and supportive services via one application in order to increase access to supportive housing for chronically homeless individuals who are high utilizers of public health resources.
Under this NOFA, projects requesting Project Based Section 8 Vouchers (PBV) to serve chronically homeless individuals with special needs will be required to receive applicant referrals from the aforementioned County Departments and will be required to enter into discussions with the County to develop a comprehensive and high quality support services program.
The HACLA PBV NOFA regulations are scheduled for posting on the HACLA website on Monday, March 26, 2012. HACLA's website can be accessed at http://www.hacla.org/ps/.
$5 million in additional service funding is available through the Home for Good Program, an Initiative of the United Way and Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce. Please click on the link below for more information:
