Nominated Uses of HEAP Funds in Sonoma County

November 1, 2018

The figures below represent my best guesses as to what might be necessary to fund the projects that have been talked about by the public and private entities competing for HEAP funding.  We are a long way from actual budget amounts, but I thought that t was important to start to put some ballpark amounts into the categories of expense that the state will allow.

The five elected members of the Homeless System of Care Leadership Council will meet on Thursday, Nov 8th, and chose 25 members for the Technical Advisory Committee from the 70 applicants.  The chosen Technical Advisory Committee will meet on Tuesday, November 13th to review FY 2019-20 Homeless Services Funding Policies, and to select their four representatives on the Leadership Council.  On Saturday, December 1st, the Homeless System of Care Leadership Council will meet to adopt the 2019-20 Homeless Services Funding Policies.
