RRH Waiver Request Process
Update
As reviewed on the SSVF National
Webinar on January 21, 2016 SSVF grantees may wish to request a RRH Waiver for
the current grant cycle. All grantees that were approved for a
“Prevention Waiver” in previous grant cycles need to re-apply using new
process described on the January 21st webinar (which can be viewed
at the webinar link posted below). RRH Waiver requests must be submitted
May 31, 2016. This is a community-wide strategic request that should be
submitted only after coordinating with your relevant community stakeholders. In
addition, a COC endorsement is required for each request. To initiate the
process please review with your Regional Coordinator to have a preliminary
discussion about the need for a RRH Waiver and the process for submission.
If you have any questions,
please contact your Regional Coordinator.

Homelessness Prevention
Threshold Score Change Process
Throughout the community
planning process, grantees review the Homeless Prevention Threshold Score and
may determine a need to modify the existing threshold score. Should your agency desire a change to the
threshold score, please contact your Regional Coordinator to have a preliminary
discussion about the proposed changes and, if approved, how to process the
change for the SSVF grant program.
Thank you,
