WIBOSCoC Quarterly Meeting

2. FY2016 CoC Competition
Highest score in the country = diff of 1.5
Balance of State score **186.25**
Median score in the country = diff of 27.05
Lowest score in the country = 79

3. FY16 Award Total HUD Award for CoC competition $195 billion
$124 million went to new permanent housing projects through re-allocation and bonus
CoC’s reallocated 5.8% of their funds; trading for more efficient and effective projects
1,280 submitted – 800 funded, 480 not funded
New trend: Smaller CoC’s merging with BOS’s

4. Transitional Housing HUD awarded $107 million in FY16.
This is $66 million less than in FY15. 
Down about 1/3. 
And down about 2/3 since FY14.
90% of this reduction was because of reallocation at the COC level in FY16.

5. COC’s that scored well and received an increase in funding had these commonalities:
Reallocated lower performance projects into more effective and efficient ones
Used performance criteria to rate and rank projects
Used housing first practices
Reduced homelessness in communities
Increase of PSH and RRH units

6. Why weren’t projects funded?
Related to overall performance of the COC
Increased homelessness in the COC
Less PSH units for chronic homelessness
Less RRH units
Related to project performance
TH and SSO are less competitive
Projects lost points if they weren’t using housing first
Projects at bottom of their COC’s tier 2 were unlikely to be funded, even if the COC scored really well.
Strategies to prevent and end homelessness were inadequate

7. Moving Forward System Performance Measures
Improvement – getting better or worse
Reducing homelessness
Monitoring performance
Reallocating poor performing projects
Reducing barriers to entry
Targeting COC resources to those folks with the highest needs
