Background

The following CoC Permanent Supportive Housing project grants are being voluntarily relinquished by the current grant recipient:

• Solitude PSH: CODAC, Inc. is voluntarily relinquishing the Solitude PSH project effective November 30, 2019. There is one year of funding remaining on the project and a new recipient is sought to administer the project from December 1, 2019-November 30, 2020. This grant was reallocated during the FY 2019 Continuum of Care funding competition and renewal funds will not be available after November 30, 2020.
• Enhanced Supportive Housing Program PSH: CODAC, Inc. is voluntarily relinquishing the Enhanced Supportive Housing Program PSH project effective December 31, 2019. There is one year of funding remaining on the project and a new recipient is sought to administer the project from January 1, 2020-December 31, 2020. This grant was reallocated during the FY 2019 Continuum of Care funding competition and renewal funds will not be available after December 31, 2020.
• Lifeworks PSH: COPE Community Services seeks to transfer or subaward delivery of services through the LifeWorks Permanent Supportive Housing Project effective as soon as possible. This project begins its final 12-month grant term on October 1, 2019 and will expire on September 30, 2020. This grant was reallocated during the FY 2019 Continuum of Care funding competition and renewal funds will not be available after September 30, 2020.  Because the project year will begin prior to the submission deadline for transfer requests, TPCH has initiated an inquiry with HUD to determine the allowability of a mid-year transfer. If a mid-year transfer is unallowable or poses undue burden on participants, the current recipient, and the selected transfer recipient; project funds may be transferred to the selected recipient through a subrecipient agreement with the current grantee. The final approach will be determined collectively by COPE Community Services, the selected transfer/subaward recipient, and the CoC based on HUD guidance.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to review the FY 2018 CoC application for each project in which they are expressing interest to accept a grant transfer.  Applications are available at https://tpch.net/about/nofa-documents/fy-2018/.
