DHHS presents HHAP‑6 RFP language; EC keeps prioritization text broad to preserve flexibility

DHHS told the Executive Committee it is preparing the HHAP‑6 Request for Proposals and presented prioritization language that the CoC has used in prior rounds. The language continues to emphasize projects that provide housing or keep people housed but also lists all eligible HHAP uses rather than creating a narrow priority list.

Committee members agreed to leave the language unchanged to preserve flexibility in how HHAP funds may be allocated, noting that broad language encourages applicants to prepare projects across eligible activity types and allows programs to remain responsive when funding becomes available. Members emphasized that maintaining a wide range of eligible activities helps local providers plan for future opportunities even when funding is limited.

Why it matters: HHAP‑6 funds will guide local allocations and program design; the decision to keep language broad signals preference for adaptability across service types rather than imposing narrow eligibility priorities.
