SUMMARY:
Approval to submit projects to apply for No Place Like Home competitive funding will help the County develop and extend affordability of permanent supportive housing for people with serious mental illness who are also experiencing homelessness, and expedite efforts to develop 2,700 units of permanent supportive housing in Orange County.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In 2016, Governor Brown signed legislation enacting the No Place Like Home (NPLH) Program, which dedicated $2 billion in bond proceeds to develop supportive housing for those individuals who are living with a serious mental illness, and experiencing homelessness. The funding, which will be repaid through Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) funds, will be available through both a noncompetitive allocation to each County and in the form of competitive Notices of Funding Availability.
On March 27, 2018, your Honorable Board of Supervisors (Board) directed $70.5 million from the County’s MHSA/Community Services and Support fund toward the acquisition and/or renovation of properties for permanent supportive housing for individuals living with a serious mental illness. The Board then took the following actions:
