2021 Local applications

PRESTO applications and Box attachments are due to Homebase on October 8 @ 5pm. We strongly recommend that you start first with the Required Competition Application & Documents so you can start collecting and completing your required attachment documents.
 
Renewal Project Applicants:
    1. Retrieve the Required Competition Application & Documents.
    2. If you have not yet done so, please request access to your agency’s PRESTO local application portal and its Box attachment uploads by sending email addresses and names of any interested staff to alameda@homebaseccc.org.
    3. Log in to PRESTO when your access is granted, to answer your supplemental questionnaire.
 
New Project Applicants:
    1. Retrieve the Required Competition Application & Documents.
    2. Register for our CoC 101 session next Monday, September 20. 
    3. Notify info@everyonehome.org and alameda@homebaseccc.org to arrange a meeting to discuss your project’s proposal, and request its PRESTO profile to be created.
    4. Reminder – eligible new housing project component types include Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH), Rapid Rehousing (RRH), and Joint Transitional Housing-Rapid Rehousing (TH-RRH). In addition, there is a DV Bonus offering a unique funding stream specifically for RRH and TH-RRH projects serving survivors of domestic violence.
 
Finally, to capture the community’s current work promoting racial equity in services and identify gaps in capacity, we ask that you fill this brief 5-minute Survey. All responses are kept anonymous (unless you choose to self-identify). This survey has no bearing on your application, however, your input is invaluable to our community’s Consolidated Application.
