(Amended by Stats. 2021, Ch. 111, Sec. 4. (AB 140) Effective July 19, 2021 <br />The Program is administered by the California Homeless Coordinating and <br />Financing Council ("HCFC") in the Business, Consumer Services and Housing <br />Agency ("Agency"). HHAP-3 provides flexible block grant funds <br />to Continuums of Care, large cities (population of 300,000+) and counties to build on <br />the regional coordination created through previous HCFC grant funding and support <br />local jurisdictions in their unified regional responses to reduce and end <br />homelessness. <br />This Standard Agreement/Initial Disbursement Contract for Funds along with all its <br />exhibits ("Agreement') is entered into by the Agency and a Continuum of <br />Care, a city, or a county ("Grantee") under the authority of, and in furtherance of the <br />purpose of, the Program. In signing this Agreement and thereby accepting this <br />award of funds, the Grantee agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of this <br />Agreement, the Standard Agreement to Apply signed and submitted by the Grantee <br />(Exhibit F), and the requirements appearing in the statutory authority for the Program <br />cited above. <br />2) Purpose <br />The general purpose of the Program is to continue to build on regional coordination <br />developed through previous rounds of funding of the Homelessness Emergency Aid <br />Program (Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 50210)), the program established <br />under this chapter, and COVID-19 funding to reduce homelessness. This funding <br />shall: <br />a) Continue to build regional collaboration between continuums of care, counties, <br />and cities in a given region, regardless of population, and ultimately be used to <br />develop a unified regional response to homelessness. <br />b) Be paired strategically with other local, state, and federal funds provided to <br />address homelessness in order to achieve maximum impact.
