On August 6, 2019, the TPCH Board of Directors voted to reallocate a total of $789,310 in CoC renewal project funding in the FY 2019 Continuum of Care Program funding competition.  Reallocation funding is intended to realign our system toward the most urgent community needs and advance our efforts to prevent and end homelessness of all people in Tucson and throughout Pima County.  Toward that aim, reallocation funding has been made available by the Board as follows:

$416,715 is available for new applications for Joint Transitional Housing-Rapid Re-housing, Rapid Re-housing, and/or Permanent Supportive Housing projects.

$372,595 is available for Supportive Services Only – Coordinated Entry projects covering the full geographic area of Pima County.
