Opportunity Title:
Homekey Program, Round 3
Description:
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (Department) is pleased to announce the availability of approximately $736 million in Homekey funding to sustain and rapidly expand the inventory of housing for people experiencing homelessness or At Risk of Homelessness and who are, thereby, inherently impacted by or at increased risk for medical diseases or conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic or other communicable diseases. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, homelessness data showed Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) were overrepresented in the homelessness system. The pandemic made racial disparities more apparent, and communities are dealing with the additional disproportionate impact of illness and death among people experiencing homelessness. Homekey recognizes these impacts and encourages Eligible Applicants to examine disproportionate impacts in their own communities and to develop strategies to address these impacts. Homekey is an opportunity for state, regional, and Local Public Entities to develop a broad range of housing types, including but not limited to hotels, motels, hostels, single family homes and multifamily apartments, adult residential facilities, manufactured housing, and to convert commercial properties and other existing buildings to Permanent or Interim Housing for the Target Population.
Eligibility:
Cities, counties, cities and counties, and all other state, regional, and Local Public Entities, including councils of government, metropolitan planning organizations, and regional transportation planning agencies designated in Section 29532.1 of the Government Code; or Tribal Entities
Total Amount Available:
$736,000,000
Application Deadline:
July 28, 2023 or until funds are exhausted, whichever occurs first.
