2023 Homekey Tribal NOFA

Purpose: The Department announces the availability of $75 million of Homekey Program grant funding through this Round 3 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Tribal Entities. This NOFA aims to sustain and rapidly expand housing for households experiencing homelessness or At Risk of Homelessness, and who are, thereby, inherently impacted by or at increased risk for medical diseases or conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rather than utilizing a set-aside within the standard Homekey Program, this NOFA operates independently and is tailored to meet the specific affordable housing needs of California Tribes. Funds offered under this NOFA and the criteria specified herein are available solely and exclusively to eligible Tribal Entities. Funding available under this NOFA provides an opportunity for Tribal Entities to develop multifamily Rental Housing Developments, including rehabilitation of existing housing, new construction of apartments, town homes, or single-family rental homes, including manufactured housing, or conversion of non-residential space to residential housing. Projects developed using Homekey Tribal funding shall provide Permanent Housing for the Target Population. Keywords: Tribal, Tribal Entities, Native American, NAHASDA, Seniors, Youth, Homeless, At Risk of Homelessness. Eligible Applicants: Eligible Applicants may apply jointly with an eligible co-Applicant, which may include other Tribal Entities, Urban Indian Organizations, local jurisdictions, or private nonprofit or for-profit corporations Eligible Geographies: Funding under this NOFA is not subject to specific geographic allocations; however, to the extent possible, the Department will distribute funds equitably throughout the state. Applications will be placed within one of three priority pools based upon project readiness and percentage of non-Homekey funding.
