This resolution is to authorize the City Manager to execute FY2023 HOPWA-Competitive Renewal and Replacement Grant Applications. The renewal grant applications total $954,752, and are submitted on behalf of the Project Sponsor, Union Mission, Inc. 

The first grant application (renewal), in the amount of $692,757 (Project House Call), is for ongoing funding support to continue providing permanent supportive housing at the Phoenix Place Community Residence and supportive services for HOPWA clients. 

The second grant application (renewal & replacement), in the amount of $261,995 (Daniel-Flagg Villas), is for funding to continue providing and maintaining permanent supportive housing for the tenants of Daniel-Flagg Villas, and mental health and substance abuse services for HOPWA clients. 

A “Replacement” grant is defined as the replacement of previous renewal grant activities with different eligible grant activities. The Project Sponsor wishes to make repairs to the Daniel-Flagg Villas to maintain compliance with property standards. Applicants interested in applying for replacement grants must submit both a Replacement Grant Application and a Renewal Grant Application. The grants will provide permanent supportive housing for low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS.
