Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves an application for a Homeless Management Information System (“HMIS”) grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to the Office of Homeless Services. If award, the grant amount would be $141,508 with a required cash match of $37,000. The grant would be used to pay for the software system vendor, purchase additional user licenses when needed, and continue integrating data from the Nashville Rescue Mission.
An HMIS grant was previously approved earlier this year pursuant to Resolution No. RS2024-622. The grant under consideration would fund a continuation of the project upon expiration of the current funding.
