This means that the selectee must make a cash payment for 20% of the project ' s total HMIS budget annually. For Year 1 of your grant term, documentation of firm commitments of the cash resources must be submitted as an attachment to this Exhibit. The format and requirements for these commitments are explained in Section B of this Exhibit. For Years 2 and 3 , if applicable, a selectee needs only to certify that cash resources will be provided using the certification in Section C of this Exhibit. This certification must be completed and submitted as an attachment to this Exhibit. Please note that, although selectees are not required to have the firm commitment for the cash resources for Years 2 and 3 at this time, the cash match requirement for Years 2 and 3 must be met by the end of each of those years. The 2001 HUD Appropriations Act added homeless management information systems as a new eligible activity. Section 423 (a)(7) of the McKinney—Vento Act provides that HUD may make . . . . ..a grant for the costs of implementing and operating management information systems for purposes of collecting unduplicated counts of homeless people and analyzing patterns of use of assistance funded under this Act. " The Technical Submission breaks these costs into 5 major cost categories : Equipment, Software, Services, Personnel, and Space/Operations . If a project sponsor' s staff will perform an HNIIS function, only the staff time directly related to the delivery of that HMIS function for the project is eligible for SHP funding. For example, the project sponsor - Harmony House - will use 25% of 1 FTE staff for a HMIS task and the remainder of the staff' s time will be spent conducting non- IMS tasks . Using this example, only 25% of the staff' s salary may be paid for with SHP HMIS funds . Likewise, where the HMIS system serves non-homeless clients and provides reporting on those clients, a proration of costs must be made . A. HMIS Dedicated Project : Narratives and Budget Chart 1 .

CONTINUUM OF CARE, Project Number _ FL2911409002_ Technical Project Identifier— FL 13167 Submission Exhibit 1 : Project Summary (RENEWALS ONLY) C. Program Goals - The goals for SHP are to help program participants (a) obtain and remain in permanent housing, (b) increase their skills and/or income, and (c) achieve greater self-determination. In order to meet these program goals, each project should develop specific performance measures. Performance measures have three major components. First, they must relate to the outcomes (e. g. , the program participant will successfully complete substance abuse treatment) , rather than inputs (e . g. , the program participant will attend 25 substance abuse sessions) . Second, they must have a time frame for achievement and, third, they must have a percentage/number indicating a level of achievement. In a separate narrative, which should be submitted as an attachment to this exhibit, please describe the performance measures that will be used for each of the SBP goals and how success in meeting each of the goals will be measured. Please include both housing and services in your discussion. At least one performance measure for the skills/income goal must address accessing mainstream health and human service programs. You will be reporting on your success in meeting the performance measures in your Annual Progress Report. Examples of performance measures for each of the SBP goals are : Goal: Obtain and remain in permanent housing • 70% of those families entering the program will receive Section 8 certificates when exiting the program. Goal: Increase skills and income • 80% of the participants who receive no benefits upon entry will receive entitlement benefits within 6 months. Goal: Achieve greater self-determination • 85% of clients will meet at least one goal on their Individual Service Plan. D.

This means that the selectee must make a cash payment for 20% of the project ' s total HMIS budget annually. For Year 1 of your grant term, documentation of firm commitments of the cash resources must be submitted as an attachment to this Exhibit. The format and requirements for these commitments are explained in Section B of this Exhibit. For Years 2 and 3 ; if applicable, a selectee needs only to certify that cash resources will be provided using the certification in Section C of this Exhibit. This certification must be completed and submitted as an attachment to this Exhibit. Please note that, although selectees are not required to have the firm commitment for the cash resources for Years 2 and 3 at this time, the cash match requirement for Years 2 and 3 must be met by the end of each of those years . The 2001 HUD Appropriations Act added homeless management information systems as a new eligible activity. Section 423 (a)(7) of the McKinney—Vento Act provides that HUD may make . . . . "a grant for the costs of implementing and operating management information systems for purposes of collecting unduplicated counts of homeless people and analyzing patterns of use of assistance funded under this Act. " The Technical Submission breaks these costs into 5 major cost categories : Equipment, Software, Services, Personnel, and Space/Operations . If a project sponsor' s staff will perform an EMS function, only the staff time directly related to the delivery of that HMIS function for the project is eligible for SHP funding. For example, the project sponsor - Harmony House - will use 25 % of 1 FTE staff for a HMIS task and the remainder of the staff' s time will be spent conducting non" HMIS tasks. Using this example, only 25 % of the staff' s salary may be paid for with SHP HIvIIS funds. Likewise, where the HMIS system serves non-homeless clients and provides reporting on those clients, a proration of costs must be made. A. HMIS Dedicated Project: Narratives and Budget Chart 1 .
