The intent of the grant program was to solicit <br /> organizational capacity that will assist the County with carrying out initiatives and programs incorporating the <br /> priorities within the Strategic Roadmap for Homelessness and Housing dated September 1, 2022. <br /> The OHCD finds that the appropriation of the Homelessness and Housing Fund constitutes a public purpose. <br /> SIGNED: ' DATE: /f// v3 <br /> e c artm t Head <br />
