HUD has announced a funding opportunity for communities to expand housing and services to survivors of domestic violence, dating violence and stalking. This population also includes survivors of trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC). The Southern Nevada Homelessness Continuum of Care (SNH CoC) is eligible to apply for approximately $1.1 million for Rapid Re-housing projects, Joint Transitional Housing – Rapid Re-housing projects, and Supportive Services Only Projects to expand Coordinated Entry implement policies, procedures, and practices that equip the CoC’s coordinated entry to better meet the needs and implement policies and procedures that are trauma-informed, client-centered or to better coordinate referrals between the CoC’s coordinated entry and victim service providers coordinated entry system.
To discuss this opportunity and develop a plan to support the SNHCoC application to maximize these funds, we invite you to a brainstorming session where we can gauge community interest and develop a framework for moving forward in the application process. This process needs to be completed before the end of August, so time is of the essence.
