BACKGROUND:
|
The San Mateo County AIDS Program (SMCAP) receives Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funding through a multiple year Federal Act administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The purpose of this Act is to provide local communities with the resources to meet the housing and supportive service needs of persons with HIV/AIDS. The San Francisco Metropolitan Area (EMA), which includes San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin counties, was awarded funds by HUD. Funds for the San Francisco EMA are managed by SFRA. Each county receives a portion of the total award based on the number of persons living with AIDS in its jurisdiction.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
SFRA has awarded SMCAP $740,000 in HOPWA funds for FY 2005-06. The funds will be used to provide short-term rent-and-mortgage assistance and case management and attendant care services. Except for a minimal amount used for sub-grantee administrative funds, all of the funds from this grant will be used to contract for services with primary service providers.
