Based on the formal recommendations established during  the 7-29-26 Homeless Services Coalition (HSC) Governing Board (GB) meeting, the following project proposals have been submitted to Home for Good (H4G) for funding consideration. These initiatives, if funded in whole or in part, are currently under review by H4G, with their funding announcements expected to be made public in December 2026.

To maintain transparency and avoid any potential conflicts of interest, GB members whose agencies submitted proposals for funding recused themselves from the discussions and were not present during the corresponding GB proceedings.

Community Action Agency of Delaware County, (CAADC), is proposing an amount of $15,000.00 to be used for furniture assistance. This project, if funded, will provide selected furniture to homeless residents in Delaware County to help them establish stable and healthy living environments. Funds will be used to purchase and facilitate the delivery of essential furniture items for approved participants.

Community Action Agency of Delaware County, (CAADC), is proposing $ 3,000.00 to be used for transportation assistance. This project, if funded, will help homeless and near-homeless individuals and families across the CoC, secure shelter, resources, employment, and stable housing. Services support employment, training, benefits, appointments, and housing searches through SEPTA Key Cards and rideshare services. CAADC will coordinate this county-wide service for CoC providers.

Catholic Social Services, (CSS) Archdiocese of Philadelphia, is proposing an amount of $ 60,000.00 to be used for a Shallow Rent Subsidy Program. This project, if funded, will assist households transitioning from the Housing Resource Coordination Program (HRCP) Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) program to independent community living. The project is designed to prevent returns to homelessness by providing temporary, declining rental assistance to households who have achieved housing stability but continue to experience financial vulnerability.

Health, Education, and Legal Assistance Project: A Medical-Legal Partnership. (HELP-MLP), is proposing an amount of $ 86,300.00 to be used to support a SOAR/SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery program. If this project is funded, HELP-MLP will submit applications to the Social Security Administration for people with disabilities who are or are at risk of homelessness in Delaware County. 

Mental Health Partnerships, (MHP), is proposing an amount of $ 20,000.00 be used toward a Shallow Rent Subsidy program. This project, if funded, will provide participants      with up to 30% of their monthly rent for up to three months, making the shift from RRH to self-reliance more seamless, as they transition out of this program.
