Match for Operating Costs

SHP grants may be used to pay for up to 75 percent of the annual costs of operating supportive housing. These are cash costs; in-kind goods and services must not be included in the operating budget. Using other cash resources, grantees must make up the difference between the total costs and the amount of the SHP grant. During the technical submission phase of the SHP application process, grantees are required to submit documentation of firm commitments for the cash match to cover the first year of the grant term.

In addition, if the grant is for more than one year, grantees must sign a certification that the cash match will be provided in the subsequent years also. The form and content of this required documentation and certification are described in the technical submission application. Grant agreements will not be executed until this documentation is provided.The cash match must also be documented in the grantee’s Annual Performance Report (APR) at the end of each operating year. The cash source may be Federal, state, local, or private.Operating costs are eligible under all program components except the supportive services only component.
