, ,

Overview

 

The LA BOSCOC has selected and ranked all new and renewal projects to be included in its consolidated application to HUD’s FY2022 CoC Program Competition. The LA BOSCOC's FY2022 CoC Program final Project Ranking can be found here: https://laboscoc.org/fy22-coc-program-competition
The Scoring Committee met on Tuesday, September 6th, to score, rank, and select projects. This process was conducted according to the Project Rating, Ranking, and Selection process as approved by the Board. 

The Board voted on Thursday, September 15th, to unanimously approve the Scoring Committee’s project ranking and selection as written.

New Project Funding.

Five projects were submitted for consideration. Three were selected. They were (in alphabetical order):
 

START Corporation’s “BOS PSH 1 expansion” project, which will expand an existing project to provide long-term rental assistance and supportive services via the Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) project type to additional households in the Baton Rouge Region.

START Corporation’s “Starting Over expansion” project, which will expand an existing project to provide long-term rental assistance and supportive services via the Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) project type to additional households in the Houma Region.

Youth Oasis' “TH-RRH expansion” project, which will expand an existing project to provide Transitional Housing and short to medium-term rental assistance and supportive services via the Transitional Housing - Rapid Rehousing (TH-RRH) joint component project type to youth households in several underserved parishes of the Baton Rouge and Houma Regions.
 

On behalf of the Scoring Committee, CoC staff would like to extend our deep appreciation to ALL project applicants. The CoC Program project application process can be challenging, and we are profoundly grateful to have so many organizations in our CoC with the interest, investment, and dedication to ending homelessness required to engage that process.

Renewal Project Funding

All projects that requested renewal funding were selected to receive full funding for those requests.

Project Feedback

As in previous years and once time allows, CoC staff will be available to provide interested applicants with a comprehensive breakdown and assessment of each of their new and renewal projects’ scores.

 

CoC staff hope that applicants whose new projects were not selected for inclusion will use these assessments to refine their project applications for resubmission in future years.
