Council backs staff coordination to pursue HHAP Round 6 housing funds
Summary
Staff recommended and council approved a motion for the city to participate in the state’s Round 6 housing funding application, outlining proposed local allocations for rehabilitation, prevention, emergency housing, and administration tied to time‑bound spending requirements.
City staff asked the council to authorize coordination and submission of the state’s Round 6 (HHAP) homeless assistance funding application and to accept staff‑recommended local allocations.
Michelle Davis summarized Round 6 program rules and proposed the city’s allocation strategy, noting a city share estimate and county allocation. Staff proposed funding lines that included rehabilitation, prevention and emergency housing with proposed amounts for capital and operations, and a requirement that a set percentage of funds be spent within prescribed timelines and reporting. The staff recommendation asked the council to authorize the city to coordinate with the county and partner agencies in the regional application.
Why it matters: Round 6 funds are time‑limited and impose spending and reporting requirements; staff stressed that meeting the timelines would require coordinated regional planning and early commitment of city and partner resources.
Council action: Council moved and seconded staff’s recommendation and the clerk recorded the motion as unanimous.
Next steps: Staff will coordinate the regional submittal and return with implementation details and contracts for programs funded through the award.
Provenance: Presentation SEG 2132–2258; motion recorded SEG 2264–2266.
