Analysis
This resolution approves an amendment to a Continuum of Care grant agreement between the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) and the Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency (“MDHA”).
The Metropolitan Council previously provided authority to the Office of Homeless Services (“OHS”) to apply to the Nashville Continuum of Care (“CoC”) to be designated as its collaborative applicant for the CoC pursuant to Resolution No. RS2024-215. MDHA was previously the collaborative applicant for the Nashville Continuum of Care and was awarded a Continuum of Care Program Grant Agreement from HUD.
HUD, MDHA, and OHS desire to amend the grant agreement to remove MDHA as the recipient of the funds and instead designate OHS as the recipient.
The resolution approves an amendment to remove MDHA as the recipient of the grant funds and instead change the recipient to OHS. No other changes would be made to the grant agreement. The grant award is $381,251 with a required local cash match of $95,312.75.
