Kontinuum njege (CoC)

The Idaho Balance of State Continuum of Care is known as the Idaho Homelessness Coordinating Committee (IHCC). IHCC has designated the Idaho Housing and Finance Association (IHFA) to serve as the Collaborative Applicant. In this role, IHFA manages the Balance of State CoC application process and submits all required CoC documents to HUD. IHFA is also responsible for coordinating and monitoring CoC grant projects.

HUD released the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 CoC Program Competition on Wednesday, August 18, 2021. We encourage you to read the full Notice for more detailed information. Key dates and events related to the Idaho Balance of State CoC competition are listed at the end of this notice.

This Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) serves as a formal solicitation for new and renewal project applications to be considered for funding. Eligible component types under this notice include Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) and Rapid Re-housing (RRH).

PSH projects must serve individuals experiencing chronic homelessness exclusively, and persons served must come from the streets (places not meant for human habitation) or from emergency shelters.

RRH must serve persons who come from the streets (places not meant for human habitation), from emergency shelters, or persons fleeing domestic violence situations.

The local CoC competition aims to enforce the adoption of federal and local strategies and goals intended to:

• Reduce lengths of episodes of individuals experiencing homelessness
• Smanjite broj novih i povratnih ulaska u beskućništvo
• Povećati rast dohotka, uključujući odnos duga i dohotka
• Smanjite beskućništvo po prvi put
• Povećati trajno zadržavanje stana
• Smanjite broj beskućnika

2021 CoC Funding

For 2021, the Idaho Balance of State CoC’s estimated allocation (annual renewal demand) from HUD is $3,370,859. All project applications will be ranked in two tiers. Tier one will encompass approximately 90% of the projects (highest scoring) while tier two will be comprised of approximately 10% of the projects (lowest scoring).

The HMIS and Coordinated Entry (CE) projects will not receive scores. As critical infrastructure for the CoC, HMIS and CE projects will be placed automatically at the bottom of Tier 1.

2021 CoC Renewal Application
2021 CoC Local New Application

29. januara 2021. HUD je dodijelio $2,5 milijarde za obnovu podrške hiljadama lokalnih programa pomoći beskućnicima širom zemlje. Bespovratna sredstva HUD-a (Continuum of Care - CoC) pružit će prijeko potrebnu podršku 6.597 lokalnih programa na prvim linijama pružanja usluga osobama i porodicama koje imaju beskućništvo.

Finansiranje najavljeno 29. januara 2021. obnavlja bespovratna sredstva za postojeće programe. Ovaj proces je dramatično pojednostavljen jer su zajednice bile i nastavit će se konzumirati sa odgovorom COVID-19 i imaju ograničeni kapacitet za sudjelovanje u tradicionalnom natjecanju CoC.

"HUD želi osigurati da hiljade lokalnih pružatelja pomoći beskućnicima i dalje primaju federalna sredstva potrebna za osiguravanje stabilnog smještaja za ljude koji su beskućnici u ovim pokušajima", rekao je vd sekretara HUD-a Matt Ammon. „Obnavljanjem ovih grantova ne pruža se olakšanje samo našim lokalnim partnerima, već omogućava kontinuitetima brige da nastave sa svojim radom na ukidanju beskućništva i pomognu našim najugroženijim susjedima da ostanu izvan ulice.“

"Uzbuđeni smo zbog mogućnosti da pružimo sredstva bez skretanja pažnje zajednica sa vitalnog posla na sprečavanju, pripremi i odgovoru na pandemiju", rekao je James Arthur Jemison, glavni zamjenik pomoćnika sekretara za planiranje i razvoj zajednice.

HUD-ovo bespovratno financiranje iz kontinuiteta njege podržava širok spektar intervencija osmišljenih da pomogne pojedincima i porodicama koje imaju beskućništvo, posebno onima koji žive na mjestima koja nisu namijenjena stanovanju, nalaze se u programima skloništa ili su pod neposrednim rizikom od nastanka beskućnika. Svake godine HUD opslužuje više od milion ljudi kroz skloništa za hitne slučajeve, prijelazne programe i programe trajnog smještaja.

Napomena: HUD više neće koristiti HUD razmjenu za informacije o programu / takmičenju koje izdaje HUD

Odmah stupa na snagu, HUD-ov Ured za programe pomoći posebnim potrebama (SNAPS) koristiće dva različita servisa liste na web lokaciji HUD-a za komunikaciju informacija u vezi sa informacijama koje je razvio HUD / SNAPS u vezi sa:
• Program kontinuiteta njege (CoC);
• Programi za pomoć u hitnim slučajevima (ESG);
• Program demonstracije beskućništva mladih (YHDP);
• Ostala obaveštenja o mogućnosti finansiranja (NOFO) koje je razvio SNAPS; i
• Sve druge informacije povezane sa programima SNAPS i radom na uklanjanju beskućništva.

Informacije i smjernice koje pružaju pružatelji tehničke pomoći HUD-a u vezi sa programima SNAPS ostaju na HUD-ovoj razmjeni i nove informacije će se i dalje pojavljivati. Ali dokumenti i komunikacije koje je napisao SNAPS više se neće slati putem HUD Exchange listserv-a. Molimo vas da ove podatke saopštite svojim organizacijama bez kuća, kontaktima s lokalnom samoupravom, zainteresiranim dionicima itd.

Molimo vas da se prijavite za popisne liste što prije možete, kako ne biste propustili važne informacije u vezi sa FG 2021 CoC Program Competition, uključujući izdanje GIW-a, i druge informacije povezane sa SNAPS programima.

Takođe tražimo da ove podatke navedete na web lokaciji vašeg CoC-a i na javnim forumima.
