HUD and VA will determine the level of need by the number of homeless veterans, with an emphasis on chronically homeless veterans, in the project’s geographic area and the number of permanent supportive housing resources in the area available to address the need.

If, after receiving an award, the PHA selects a project outside of the CoCs considered under this scoring factor, funds for those units will be rescinded. 30 points: Very high need is determined 15 points: High need is determined 5 points: Medium need is determined C.
