The information in this description must align with the information entered in other portions of the application.

0/2500
What percentage of your project will require participation in supportive services? Describe supportive service participation expectations and how individualized service plans support housing stability, recovery, employment/income, and self-sufficiency.

0/2500
An acceptable response will acknowledge the needs of the target population and include a plan that includes service participation requirements, addresses the types of assistance that will be provided by the project applicant, or other partners, to ensure program participants served by this project will move into appropriate permanent housing as well as either remain in or move to other permanent housing once assistance is no longer needed. Additionally, if you will coordinate with other partners, include their role in meeting this criterion. The description should include:
- How you will determine the right type of housing that fit the needs of program participants (this should match the housing type selected when selecting the project type).
- If you will use rental assistance or leasing assistance, how you will work with landlords to address possible issues and challenges.
- The type of assistance and support you will provide to program participants to overcome challenges to permanent housing (e.g., case management; housing counseling, employment resources).
- How you will work with program participants to set goals towards successful retention of permanent housing.
DV Project Specific:

If this project will exclusively assist victims of domestic violence, the description must include safety planning addressing the needs of this particular homeless population towards meeting the goal of obtaining and maintaining permanent housing. The response must also include in the description how eligible program participants (paragraph 4 of the homeless definition (24 CFR 578.3)) will be assisted to obtain and remain in permanent housing that addresses their particular needs and includes trauma-informed, victim-centered approaches.
- Trauma-informed: Approaches delivered with an understanding of the vulnerabilities and experiences in trauma survivors, including the prevalence and physical, social, and emotional impact of trauma. A trauma-informed approach recognizes signs of trauma in staff, clients, and others and responds by integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, practices, and settings. Trauma-informed approaches place priority on reassuring the survivor's feelings of safety, choice, and control.
- Victim-centered: Placing priorities, needs, and interests at the center of the work with the victim; providing nonjudgmental assistance, with an emphasis on client self-determination, where appropriate, and assisting victims in making informed choices; ensuring that restoring victims' feelings of safety and security are a priority and safeguarding against policies and practices that may inadvertently re-traumatize victims; ensuring that victims' rights, voices, and perspectives are incorporated when developing and implementing system- and community-based efforts that impact crime victims.
Describe the specific plan to coordinate and integrate with other mainstream health, social services, and employment programs for which program participants may be eligible.

0/2000
Describe how this project will help program participants obtain the benefits for which they are eligible. Additionally, if you will coordinate with other partners, include their role in meeting this criterion. The description should include:
- Assisting program participants with obtaining and increasing employment income that will lead to successful exits from homelessness (e.g., local employment programs, job training opportunities, educational opportunities).
- The type of mainstream services you will assist program participants with obtaining to increase non-employment income (e.g., SSI; SSDI; Food Stamps, Veterans benefits).
- The type of social services you will provide access and help program participants obtain (e.g., childcare, food assistance, TANF, early childhood education).
- Access to healthcare benefits and resources (e.g., Medicaid, Medicare, healthcare for the homeless, FQHCs).
For all the supportive services available to program participants, indicate who will provide them and how often they will be provided.

Match Funds

List all sources of matching funds for this project below and make sure to include appropriate documentation for all match with your application submission according to the specifications in the project application guide.

Note: The CoC Program requires a 25 percent match of the awarded grant amount minus funds for leasing. Cash or in-kind resources will satisfy the match requirement. In-kind match for support services requires a formal memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the agency providing the in-kind service(s) and must establish a system to document the actual value of services provided during the term of the grant.

Complete the following tables below, however you are also required to submit a match commitment letter to this application. In the case where there are in-kind services, the subrecipient may use a letter from the partner agency to document the commitment to provide the in-kind service in advance of executing a formal MOU, for instance, if the subrecipient opts to wait to execute an MOU upon receipt of notification of award from HUD. The MOU may be between a subrecipient and another agency, but the terms must be described in the MOU.

I.e. A $100,000 project requires a minimum of $25,000 in matching funds.

Please reach out to grants@aceh.org if you have any questions or need technical assistance.
