§302(c)(4)(E)(i) Provide a detailed and complete description of how allocated funds will be used for the proposed Activity.
In collaboration with the Chino Unified School District and City of Chino Hope Program Case Management staff, 15 families in immediate need of housing have already been identified through the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. Case Managers are actively working with the families to find housing placement while providing comprehensive services needed to ensure safe living conditions. Allocated funds will be used to enhance the case management services already in place and extend rental assistance opportunities long-term as our current program only allows for 3 months. PLHA funding will enable more sufficient time through enhanced case management, allowing for preparation for the families to reach established goals towards unsubsidized housing. The rental assistance and enhanced case management implementation is immediate upon award of the allocations. Timeliness for reaching goals towards unsubsidized housing for each family will vary depending on individual circumstances but is estimated at 18-24 months. Future PLHA funding enables longevity of this program.
