FY2018 CoC Competition: Announcement of Project Awards and Ranking

The CoC Application Committee has completed its work for the FY2018 competition. Thank you to committee members Alvina Brevard (DHCD), Karen Dean (Hampden County Sheriff’s Department), Alicia Zoeller (City of Holyoke), Pamela Schwartz (Western Mass Network to End Homelessness) and Gerry McCafferty (City of Springfield)!

The Committee has recommended full funding for all renewal projects, and has ranked all renewals ahead of newly proposed projects. Please note that one project did not apply for renewal–that project is Way Finder’s RRH project, which had been funded at $154,321. Existing participants in that program will leave through attrition over the next year, so the non-renewal will not result in displacement of households.

The CoC’s application will include two projects included as part of the DV Bonus: a DV-coordinated entry project, and DV-RRH project. The application will also include projects seeking regular Bonus funds: a PSH project for chronically homeless families, and a joint TH-RRH project for youth.
