Over $700 million in state funding for communities to address
homelessness is available thanks to the California budget signed
in June. State agencies and departments are working diligently to
provide guidelines and NOFAs for the new homelessness funding. As
deadlines are quickly approaching, CSAC will continue to work
closely with state agencies and departments to disseminate
information to counties. CSAC has developed a quick link chart
outlining the new homelessness funding opportunities
available.
The Homeless Mentally Ill Outreach and Treatment Program (HMIOT)
application is due on September 25, 2018.The
HMIOT Program is designed to provide flexible one-time funding
for county activities involving individuals with serious mental
illness and who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
All counties are eligible to receive HMIOT funding and are
encouraged to leverage this funding with other funding sources
and initiatives, including Whole Person Care pilots and efforts
to address mental illness among populations with a high
likelihood of homelessness, including those with recent
involvement in the criminal justice system or release from
incarceration.
Counties must submit a letter of intent and a board resolution
affirming participation to Department of Health Care Services at
HMIOT@DHCS.CA.Gov. Counties can find a sample resolution on
CSAC’s Homelessness Resource
Page.
