Overview of the PY 2017-18 NOFA The Coalition for the Homeless is Lead Agency Point of Contact: Concetta Scerbo cscerbo@homelesshouston.org Program Year – September 1, 2017 – August 31, 2018 $1,424,761** available for: Street Outreach* Emergency Shelter* Homelessness Prevention Rapid Rehousing Assistance HMIS Administrative Costs *Street Outreach and Emergency Shelter Applications for our community cannot exceed $854,555 **Number could change depending on award from HUD

Single Applicants Single Applicants: Agencies that are considering applying as single applicants should keep in mind that the NOFA places a high priority on Collaborative Applications by awarding more points for higher outputs and outcomes and that the award amounts for a single applicant are less than the amounts available for Collaborative Applications. Applicants may request no less than $200,000 per year. Single applicants may request a maximum of $250,000 per year, which would be $500,000 for two years. The budget and performance measures should be correlated to the aggregate two-year amount requested. If the second year award amount is significantly more or less than the first year amount, the Department may subsequently adjust performance measures accordingly in the second year budget.

Collaborative Applicants A lead entity or Applicant can submit a Collaborative Application by partnering with up to five other separate organizations (for a total of six organizations). Each Collaborative Application must designate one organization as the lead organization who is responsible for gathering all necessary information from its partners and submitting a single Application for the entire collaboration. Reference Page 9 in the TDHCA NOFA The minimum request is $200,000 per year. The maximum request amount is $200,000 per year times the number of partners in the Application, with a maximum request of $600,000 per year, which would be $1,200,000 for two years. The budget and performance measures should be correlated to the aggregate two-year amount requested. In a Collaborative Application, each partner is not limited to budgeting only $200,000 each per year; the total grant amount may be budgeted among all partners as agreed upon.

Overview of the PY 2017-18 NOFA General Single Applicants and Collaborative Applicants are limited to requesting no more than 60% of their budget for Street Outreach and Emergency Shelter activities. Within a Collaborative Application, the 60% limit applies to the entire Application and not to each partner within the Collaborative Application. Letter of Intent due February 9, 2017 by 11:59:59AM To cscerbo@homelesshouston.org The CoC could foster collaborations, but suggest agencies choose their collaborations
