The California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) will be hosting a webinar on Thursday, April 20
from 10 am – 12 pm to outline the Homekey Round 3
program requirements and assist communities in accessing Homekey
funds. Last month, HCD released the
Homekey Round 3 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for
$736 million in grant funding to counties, cities, and other
public entities. Interested applicants can register for the
webinar
here.
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, single-family homes and
multifamily apartments, adult residential facilities, and
manufactured housing, and to convert commercial properties and
other existing buildings to Permanent or Interim Housing for
people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
HCD will accept applications on a continuous, over-the-counter
basis through July 28, 2023, or until the available funds are
exhausted, whichever occurs first. Applicants must submit a
pre-application consultation survey to HCD prior to applying.
Information on when pre-application consultations will be
available will be posted on the
Homekey webpage.
