On Monday, the Department of Social Services (CDSS) released a
comprehensive
All County Welfare Directors Letter (ACWDL) on Project
Roomkey. Project Roomkey is a FEMA-reimbursable program
through June 30, which was designed to provide safe
non-congregate shelter options for homeless individuals impacted
by COVID-19 in hotels, motels, and trailers. The Administration
and local governments have worked tirelessly to make this
initiative a success.
The ACWDL outlines the state funding issued for this initiative;
the federal, state, and local government partnership; eligibility
determination; reporting requirements; and technical assistance
available to local governments. The document also provides
individuals with links to useful training and implementation
resources. While counties continue to utilize this program, the
ACWDL provides the necessary guidance and direction to resources
in one document.
