Overview
CoC staff will be holding local Q&A and Technical Assistance sessions in each of the LA BOSCOC’s Regions.
Anyone interested in submitting a new or renewal project to the FY 2019 CoC Program Local Competition is very welcome to attend.
CoC staff will not be making formal presentations during these sessions, so please come prepared with your questions, comments, and thoughts.
Topics that might be covered include but are not limited to:
What does a sustainable budget for a Rapid Re-Housing project in my Region look like?
How much detail is HUD/the CoC looking for in [question]?
What does the change from Housing First to Low Barrier mean for my project?
What are the added challenges involved in a Joint Transitional Housing-Rapid Re-Housing project, and how do I address them?
What kind of data can I use to support an “evidence-based approach?”
…and anything else you come up with!
