This funding is contingent on voter approval of the No Place Like Home Act of 2018, AB 1827 (Budget Committee) ballot measure on November 6, 2018. Only Counties with five percent or more of the State’s homeless population are eligible to be designated as an Alternative Process County.

NPLH provides funding for Counties to develop multifamily housing specifically for persons with serious mental illness who are Homeless, Chronically Homeless, or At-risk of Chronic Homelessness. Definitions of these Target Populations are located in Section 101 of the NPLH Guidelines () dated July 17, 2017, published on August 14, 2017. HCD’s initial NOFA will make NPLH Noncompetitive Allocation funds available to all Counties proportionally, based on each Counties’ most current sheltered and unsheltered Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, as published in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In no event shall a County be eligible to receive an allocation of less than $500,000 from the Noncompetitive Allocation.
