EXHIBIT 1 52 Part III: Funding Plan Each Administrative Entity is required to submit a funding plan as part of the HHAP-5 Application. The funding plan must account for 100 percent of the HHAP-5 Base allocation(s), 100 percent of the HHAP-5 Planning allocation(s), and 100 percent of the Initial Supplemental Funding allocation(s) which the Administrative Entity will be responsible for administering. For both the HHAP-5 base allocation and the initial $100 million supplemental funding, individual allocations for each eligible applicant will be based on their proportionate share of the state’s homeless population as reported by HUD in the 2023 PIT count. Allocation amounts will be calculated and released to all applicants once HUD publishes their 2023 Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR). Cal ICH currently anticipates providing eligible applicants with their calculated allocations by the end of January 2024. This will give applicants at least two months to finalize their HHAP-5 budgets before applications are due at the end of March. Until HHAP-5 final allocations are released, applicants should use their HHAP-4 base allocation as an approximation of their HHAP-5 allocation amount, for planning purposes. 1. Complete a Funding Plan for each Administrative Entity participating in this application. a. Identify all Eligible Use Categories the Administrative Entity anticipates using. b. Provide the dollar amount budgeted per eligible use category. Again, this must account for 100 percent of the HHAP-5 Allocation(s) the Administrative Entity will be responsible for administering. c. Where applicable, provide the dollar amount that will be designated under the Youth Set-Aside from the selected eligible use categories. Reminder: the youth set-aside must total at least 10% of all monies received. d. Provide a brief description of activities HHAP-5 funds will support in each selected eligible use category. e. Provide an explanation of how the activities therein align with the state's HHAP-5 priorities to prioritize permanent housing solutions and sustain existing investments towards long-term sustainability of housing and supportive services. 2. Complete the New Interim Housing Certification a. Indicate whether the budget proposes to support ANY new interim housing solutions outside of the youth set-aside. b. Indicate whether the budget proposes to support new interim housing solutions for youth in excess of 10% of the total HHAP-5 Dollars budgeted. c. If the Administrative Entity answers “yes” to either of the above, they will be asked to demonstrate dedicated, sufficient resources from other funding sources for long-term permanent housing solutions. This entails summarizing total available dollars for preventing and ending homelessness in the region, including the percentage of these resources dedicated to permanent and interim housing solutions, providing the status of five policy actions for each eligible applicant in the region, and demonstrating the need for additional shelter.
