Financial Impact:
This anticipated revenue will be utilized in accordance with the Transitional Housing Program (THP) and Housing Navigation and Maintenance Program (HNMP) rules to help young adults formerly in foster care prevent homelessness. The allocation was not planned in Social Services' budget but can be added. These are state funds with no county share.
Background Information:
On December 19, 2023, the Board authorized acceptance of THP round 5 and HNMP round 2 of this funding. We submitted this THP round 6 and HNMP round 3 Allocation Acceptance forms pending Board approval. These funds are intended to help young adults ages 18 to 24 navigate housing options and secure and maintain housing, with priority given to young adults aging out of foster care. After accepting the allocation, the Department of Housing and Community Development will send a contract for execution.
