Item/Subject RESOLVE - Accepting & appropriating a Homeless Continuum W Care grant
from HUD
ResOonslble Department: Community It Economic Development
In July of 2005, the City submitted our annual request for funding for several homeless
programs under one HUD "Homeless Continuum of Care Super NOW (Notice Of Funding
Availability) for a total request of $1,006,]41. This application included 13 different program
requests. In December of 2005, all 13 projects were funded for a total of $1,069,3]).
This Resolve addresses one of those 13 awards -- a one year grant to fund die HUD mandated!
computerized system of madding homeless persons and the services trey receive. The system is
called the "Homeless Management brformadon System", or "HMIS." The HMIS will improve local
homeless providers' and the City's ability to obtain an unduplicated count of homeless persons.
HMIS will aim facilitate access to information about client assessment data statewide. The Cities
of Bangor and Portland have part ered wit Maine State Housing (MSHA) to design and
Implement the system. Most local agencies are on-line with the system, including the Dept. of
Health & Welfare. The design and implementation has been accomplished by partnership with
MSHA, and In this case the City pretty much acts as a pass-through of the HMIS funds to MSHA.
The attacl ed Resolve will accept and appropriate the grant funds in the amount of $16,758 for
the second year of Implementation of Me HMIS. There will be no matching funds required from
Me City under the grant. Matching funds in the amount of $3,990 will be provided by in -land
assistance mark available W local agencies by the City's Dept. of 6Hormation Services. This
grant is administered by the Department of Community & Economic Development and includes
an administrative fee amount of $7913.
I would recommend your approval of this Order.
