Total Annual Award
This program represents part of the $180 million that New York State receives in McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Program funding.
Eligible Populations
For permanent supportive housing, tenants must be homeless individuals and families with disabilities including mental illness, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS and domestic violence. Funding may be used for a non-disabled homeless population for services and/or transitional housing.
Eligible Projects
Permanent supportive housing, transitional housing and support services only.
Funding Award Details
Part of the $180 million that New York State received in McKinney-Vento funding in 2010. That year, HUD awarded $6,123,529 for 25 new permanent supportive housing projects and $46,096,964 to renew 231 existing projects.
Rate Details
Up to $400,000 for capital. Open on operating and services.
Term of Service/Length of Grant
Initial grant is for two or three years, after which the grant is renewable annually.
Limitations
Projects must have site control within one year of initial award. Capital funding is limited to $400,000 and requires a 100% match. Operating funding requires a 25% cash match. Services funding requires a 20% cash match. Rental assistance is not currently adjustable once the fair market rent is set.
Network Notes
SHP is flexible and can be used for every component of supportive housing development, including acquisition, rehabilitation, construction and leasing of supportive housing, as well as operating costs of supportive housing and supportive services. A single project proposal might request funding for all three components; however, there is a strong disincentive in the competition to fund supportive services.
