Eligible Applicants

Nonprofit organizations providing permanent supportive housing, transitional housing and support services only.

Amount

Up to $400,000 for capital. No set amount for operating and services contracts.

Term

For operating and services, initial grants are for two or three years, after which the grant is renewable annually.

Network Notes

• This program is no longer active. This program represented part of the funding million that New York State receives in McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Program funding. Funding now flows through Continuum of Care grants.
• Projects had to have site control within one year of initial award. Capital funding required a 100% match. Operating funding required a 25% cash match. Services funding required a 20% cash match. Rental assistance was not adjustable once the fair market rent is set.  
• OTDA or DHS may negotiate a reimbursement rate with each provider, related to the size of the building and ranging from $125 to $200 per unit per month.
