The Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Program is a State of California block grant program designed to support regional coordination and expand or develop local capacity to address immediate homelessness challenges. HHAP provides local jurisdictions with flexible funding to address homelessness locally through evidence-based practices. HHAP was first authorized by AB 101 (Committee on Budget, Chapter 15, Statutes of 2019).
To date, the state has made 6 rounds of funding available under the HHAP program. San Mateo County and its joint applicant, the CA-512 Daly City/San Mateo County Continuum of Care (CoC), have been awarded 5 rounds of funding, totaling $14.1 million dollars, and submitted an application under Round 6. There are more details on each round of funding below.
HHAP is currently administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). HCD provides more information about HHAP statewide through its HHAP information page, and about HHAP spending through its fiscal data dashboard.
