    2024 New CoC Bonus, DV Bonus, and Expansion Projects Application

    • In applying for new projects make sure you have collaborated with your community/service area to discuss what is needed in your community. This will help support a strong application showing the need and how it was gathered. ​

    • If you are applying for a Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) project, this project will not have a high turnover rate, ensure you have connections with your public housing authorities to have a homeless preference, moving on program, or possibly match project-based vouchers with the housing. ​

    • If you are applying for Rapid Rehousing (RRH), ensure you have connections with landlords or have housing opportunities. Remember in this type of project you are trying to find permanent housing for the participant so have a variety of areas to provide housing to ensure all participants are able to live where they can obtain and maintain their housing with supports around them. ​

    • Before applying for a Joint Transitional Housing-Rapid Rehousing (Joint TH-RRH) consider the following factors:

    • Communities with high rates of unsheltered homelessness and where stays in shelter and other forms of crisis housing are usually brief would likely benefit from adding a joint component project to their system. In communities where shelter, crisis housing, and transitional housing stays are long, increasing rapid re-housing and permanent supportive housing resources may be more effective ways to increase capacity.​

      Communities with no emergency shelter or crisis housing options available for people fleeing domestic violence should consider a joint component project. However, where there are already shelters or crisis housing projects serving survivors, communities should assess whether lowering the barriers in those existing projects and adding rapid re-housing would better meet survivors’ needs and be a better use of resources.​

      Communities with transitional housing projects, particularly those that are not able to provide their participants with financial resources to obtain permanent housing, should consider whether reallocating funds from those projects to a joint component project would better meet the needs of the people the project is intended to serve.​.
