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.
Guidance
Each Administrative Entity must submit a single Funding Plan that accounts for the entire HHAP-5 Allocation(s) which the Administrative Entity will be responsible for administering. This includes:
• 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).
The youth set-aside must total at least 10% of all monies received.
Administrative costs may not exceed 7% of all monies received.
Up to 1% of all monies received may be budgeted for costs related to the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). Related costs include HMIS licenses, training, system operating costs, and costs associated with carrying out related activities. Upon agreement between Cal ICH, the grantee, and the Homeless Management Information System lead entity, the grantee shall transfer the authorized amount of funds directly to the HMIS lead entity.
Each funding plan must include:
• Identification of all Eligible Use Categories the Administrative Entity anticipates using • Dollar amount budgeted per eligible use category. Again, this must account for 100 percent of the HHAP-5 Base allocation(s) and 100 percent of the Initial Supplemental Funding allocation(s) which the Administrative Entity will be responsible for administering. o If applicable, dollar amount from the selected eligible use category that will be designated under the Youth Set-Aside. Reminder: the youth set-aside must total at least 10% of all monies received. o Administrative costs may not exceed 7% of all monies received. o Applicants may budget up to 1% for costs related to the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). Related costs include HMIS licenses, training, system operating costs, and costs associated with carrying out related activities.

Does this budget propose to support any new interim housing solutions outside of the youth set-aside? Does this budget propose to support new interim housing solutions for youth in excess of 10% of the total HHAP-5 Dollars budgeted? If yes to either o f the above questions, identify the region and Eligible Applicants in the region. Then, respond to all of the below prompts under Demonstration of Dedicated, Sufficient Resources for Permanent Housing. In reviewing whether a region has dedicated sufficient resources from other sources to long term permanent housing solutions, Cal ICH will evaluate financial resources and policy actions related to reducing and ending homelessness, as well as demonstrated need for additional interim housing.
Demonstration of Dedicated, Sufficient Resources for Permanent Housing Applicants must respond to this section when they have responded “Yes” to either of the questions under “New interim Housing Certification”. At a minimum, this section must reflect all eligible applicants in the region where the eligible applicant is proposing to fund new interim housing.

For the LA region this means all eligible applicants (Large Cities, CoCs, and the County) within the County of LA. • For Single County CoCs and the LA region: the application is already aligned with the “region” definition. Therefore, the first two metrics must exactly reflect the information in “Plan to Utilize Local, State, and Federal Funds to End Homelessness” above. In the Cognito Form, the first two metrics will automatically populate from the information provided. The applicant will need to provide the “Percent dedicated to interim housing solutions”.
• For multi-county CoCs: because the participating eligible applicants may or may not exclusively align with the “region” definition, the applicant will need to assess and summarize the relevant information from the in “Plan to Utilize Local, State, and Federal Funds to End Homelessness” above. Here relevant information refers to the aggregate dollars available to the Eligible Applicants listed the tables directly above, in alignment with the “region” definition.

Prohousing Designation
HHAP 5 funding in the City of Anaheim is largely earmarked for the provision of street outreach. Outreach services are a growing need in the community and funding will go towards case management and housing navigation for households living unsheltered. Although HHAP 5 funds are allocated towards permanent housing, the outreach earmark effectively lowers the percentages of funds dedicated to permanent and interim housing by roughly 3% and 1% respectively.
Eligible Applicant Current Prohousing Designation Status If the Eligible Applicant has not been designated Prohousing, identify Prohousing policies that this
Eligible Applicant has adopted or plans to adopt in
the future.

designation. However, without meeting the
threshold requirement of having a certified Housing
Element, the City is unable to attain the Prohousing
designation.
