Honorable President
and Members of the City Council,
The attached Resolution authorizes the City of Omaha to accept and the Mayor to execute a grant
agreement between the City of Omaha and the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) for funding under HUD's 2001 Continuum of Care - Supportive Housing
Program. This funding, in the amount of $227,171.00, will be used to provide services to
homeless individuals and families through The Visiting Nurse Association project entitled,
"Public Health Nurse Services in Transitional Living Programs" (FY 2001, Fund 190, Agency
200, Organization 8014).
In February of 2001, HUD advertised its competition for the new round of Continuum of Care
for the Homeless Assistance designed to help communities develop "continuum of care" systems .
for combating homelessness. Upon learning of the available funding, the Planning Department
undertook an inclusive effort to develop proposals from members of the Omaha Area Continuum
of Care for the Homeless and to establish project priorities. All "continuum" agencies and
programs were invited to participate in this process.
Nine projects were conditionally selected by HUD for funding. The total amount of supportive
housing funding for all nine projects is $1,936,949.00.
Upon approval of this Resolution, a separate subrecipient agreement for the sub-grantee (i.e.,
The Visiting Nurse Association) will be forwarded to the City Council for approval. This and
the other Continuum of Care Projects considered for funding will help provide a comprehensive
approach to the development and implementation of housing and service delivery programs
designed to help homeless individuals and families move to permanent housing and self-
sufficiency.

For any project funded by this grant which is also financed through the use of the Low Income

HUD recognizes that the Recipient or the project sponsor will or has financed this project
through the use of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit. The Recipient or project
sponsor shall be the general partner of a limited partnership formed for that purpose. If
grant funds were used for acquisition, rehabilitation or construction, then, throughout a

in accordance with the requirements of Attachment A, noncompliance with the Act or Attachment A
provisions, any other material breach of the Grant Agreement, or misrepresentations in the application

notice to the Recipient of the occurrence of any such default and the provision of a reasonable opportunity
to respond, HUD may take one or more of the following actions:
(a) direct the Recipient to submit progress schedules for completing approved activities; or

Agreement shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver or acquiescence in any Recipient
