CCE Capital Expansion applicants are asked to ensure that their proposed projects will serve a greater number of applicants and recipients of SSI/SSP and CAPI who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. There is no required minimum percentage; the percentage served will be evaluated during the review of applications. Applicants must show that their project will provide a measurable increase over the baseline number of individuals served within the target populations.
Can a portion of either the BHCIP or CCE grant funds pay for additional staff or staff upgrades?

Service and staff-related expenses are not covered by the BHCIP grant. However, for CCE funds, a capitalized operating subsidy reserve (COSR) can be incorporated into the project budget to cover operational deficits for up to 5 years. See Section 3.7 (page 17) of the joint RFA.
