Christine Veil, who led the HPRR segment, said Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing funds may cover rapid rehousing, rental assistance, supportive case management, and operating or capital costs for navigation centers and emergency shelters, provided services are delivered within Roseville city limits.
Veil said an estimated $250,000 will be available for HPRR with a minimum award of $25,000 and no maximum currently set. She noted HPRR funding sources include the city's low‑ and moderate‑income fund and the state's Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA); for reference, Veil said Roseville received $195,609 in PLHA in the referenced program year.
Applicants must submit a separate HPRR application (same online process but distinct form) and include their organization's unique entity identifier (UEI), which replaced the DUNS number and is issued through SAM.gov. Veil reminded applicants that HPRR and PLHA have specific eligibility rules — for PLHA, households served generally must earn no more than 30% AMI and assistance should follow Housing First practices.
On allowable costs, Veil said housing location and navigation are typically eligible if they are housing‑related; however, when asked whether salaries and overhead could be billed to HPRR, staff said they would follow up with the questioner (no definitive overhead allowance was given during the session). Veil also confirmed the program operates on a reimbursement basis: subrecipients must invoice and provide documentation (for example, a check stub or proof of payment to a landlord) before the city reimburses costs.
Staff reiterated the technical and timing details: pre‑applications are due by 11:59 p.m. the next day, full applications are due Feb. 2 at 5 p.m., reporting will be biannual for PLHA, and ZoomGrants support resources and staff contact information are posted in the meeting chat.
