On December 21, 2021, the Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council (HCFC) announced the availability of Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Program Round 3 grant funding. HHAP Round 3 is a $1 billion block grant program authorized by AB 140 (Health & Safety Code § 50218.6, et seq.), which was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom on July 19, 2021.

Round 3 is designed to build on regional coordination developed through previous rounds of HCFC Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP), HHAP, and COVID-19 funding. Round 3 funds should be used to continue to build a unified regional response to reduce and end homelessness informed by a best-practices framework focused on moving homeless individuals and families into permanent housing and supporting the efforts of those individuals and families to maintain their permanent housing. 

The allocation for the Davis/Woodland/ Yolo County Continuum of Care (CA-521), known as the Homeless and Poverty Action Coalition (HPAC), is $980,332. HHAP3 funds must be expended by June 30, 2026.
