HHAP Round 3 is a $1 billion grant that provides local jurisdictions, including federally recognized tribal governments, with flexible funding to continue efforts to end and prevent homelessness in their communities.

HHAP Round 4 is a $1 billion grant that provides local jurisdictions, including federally recognized tribal governments, with flexible funding to continue efforts to end and prevent homelessness in their communities.

California System Performance Measures (CA SPMs)

The CA SPMs are a standardized set of metrics to help the state and local jurisdictions assess progress towards preventing, reducing, and ending homelessness. The following materials have been developed to explain each CA SPM, assist HHAP applicants with using CA SPM data in their HHAP-5 applications, and to allow HHAP-3 and HHAP-4 grantees to track progress for these performance measures.

The CA SPMs and Goals Worksheet is intended to help communities use CA SPM data in their local planning processes, including for their HHAP-5 proposals. While the HHAP-5 application does not require setting numerical outcome goals, this resource is intended to offer communities a way to look at historical data to identify actions they may take to improve system-level outcomes.
