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 1997 Continuum of Care - Supportive Housing
Program. This new funding in the amount of$389,652 is for the operation and provision of services
for the Salvation Army Transitional Housing program.
In March of 1997, HUD advertised competition for this 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.
Five projects were conditionally selected by HUD for funding. Funding for the first three projects
was approved by the City Council on June 23, 1998. The fifth project will be approved by HUD in
the near future. The total amount of supportive housing funding for all five projects is $1,762,054.
Upon approval of this Resolution, separate subrecipient agreements for each sub-grantee will be
forwarded to the City Council for approval. The Continuum of Care programs considered for
funding will help provide a much needed comprehensive approach to develop and implement
housing and service delivery programs to help homeless individuals and families move to permanent
living and self-sufficiency to the extent possible.
We urge your favorable consideration of this Resolution.
Sincerely, Referred to ity Council for Consideration:

minimum term in accordance with the requirements of Attachment A, noncompliance with the

the following actions:
(a) direct the Recipient to submit progress schedules for completing approved activities;
or
(b) issue a letter of warning advising the Recipient of the default, establishing a date by
