  • 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.
