Each CofC area has developed a Coordinated Action Plan (CAP) through its local Continuum of Care Planning Body that defines more specific criteria and procedures pertaining to implementation at the local level. Participating communities may designate more specific homeless sub-populations (e.g., homeless families with dependent children, chronically homeless single adults, survivors of domestic violence) but may not restrict eligibility to specific disability groupings (e.g., mentally ill, developmentally disabled). The CAP will articulate the CofC’s plan for outreach, applicant certification and referral, supportive contact with participant households, supportive contact with landlords, evaluation/reporting, and accountability.
Staff delegated by the Director of MSHDA must approve this plan prior to its initiation.
The CofC’s failure to follow through on commitments articulated in the CAP may result in termination of assignment of any further HARP vouchers to that locality.
