Rapid Re-Housing for Families Demonstration Program. HUD will implement through the 2008 CoC NOFA a demonstration program for households with dependent children residing on the street or in emergency shelters as directed by Congress in the Consolidated Appropriations Act for 2008 (H.R. 2764). Through this focused effort on assisting this population, HUD will both learn more about how to best serve families who are homeless and also contribute to the research that has already been done in this area.
Each CoC may submit no more than one project under the Rapid Re-Housing for Families Demonstration Program. That project must have a grant term of three-years and may request up to 30 percent of the CoC’s PPRN or $2 million, whichever is less.
Grants awarded under the Rapid Re-Housing for Families Demonstration Program will be administered in accordance with the requirements of the SHP program, TH component, with the exception that the eligible activities are limited to administration, leasing (up to 18 months), and supportive services; that the grantee must participate in the evaluation phase; and that they must comply with all Rapid Re-Housing Demonstration Program requirements established in this NOFA.
No more than 30 percent of the total eligible program activities (grant total minus administration costs up to five percent) may be used for supportive services, including case management.
Eligible supportive services are limited to housing placement, case management, legal assistance; literacy training, job training, mental health services, childcare services, and substance abuse services.
Eligible housing activities include leasing only. One household may receive leasing dollars one time for three to six months or twelve to fifteen months, as determined at the time of the assessment. Households are expected to independently sustain housing, either subsidized or unsubsidized, at the end of the leasing subsidy; therefore, it is crucial that households are appropriately assessed. The Rapid Re-Housing Demonstration program will include an evaluation phase, which will focus on determining the efficacy of the assessment process and the housing/service intervention related to how successfully households are able to independently sustain housing after receiving short-term leasing assistance.
