Commissioners authorize president to sign $361,573 state homelessness (HSP) grant
Summary
The board authorized the president to sign a State HSP grant award of $361,573 for SFY2027, with $346,666 designated to HRDC and $14,907 to the county Department of Social Services; staff noted a $66,412 decrease from last year.
The Allegheny County Board of Commissioners voted to authorize the board president to sign the state Homelessness Solutions Program (HSP) grant agreement for state fiscal year 2027.
David Nedved told the board the county will receive a total HSP award of $361,573, with $346,666 to be administered on behalf of HRDC and $14,907 on behalf of the Allegheny County Department of Social Services. He said this amount represents a decrease of $66,412 compared with the prior year and asked the board also to authorize subrecipient agreements and any required future amendments. "I'm requesting the board of county commissioners authorize the president to sign the grant agreement for the 2027 state fiscal year 2027 HSP grant funding," Nedved said.
The motion to authorize execution of the grant agreement, and to allow the president to sign subrecipient agreements and amendments as necessary, was moved and approved by voice vote. Commissioners did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript aside from an affirmative voice vote.
Why it matters: the HSP award funds local homelessness services administered through HRDC and the county's Department of Social Services. The funding shift is modest but could affect program budgets and subrecipient allocations for shelter, prevention and rapid-rehousing activities in SFY2027.
What's next: staff will execute subrecipient agreements with HRDC and the Department of Social Services and return for any contract amendments if required.
