Historical Perspective • In 1988, Boley received its first (of 10) HUD McKinney Act Homeless Grants. • Also in 1988, Boley opened its first HUD 811 funded project - Bessie Boley and Ruth Mosher Apartments. Ten more followed, Two more are pending construction, and one was just awarded. • Then in 1992, Boley initiated a Supported Housing Program.

HUD Priorities for the 2011 COC Permanent Housing Bonus To serve homeless and disabled individuals and/or families, and/or chronically homeless individuals While no longer required to use bonus funds for projects that will serve 100% chronically homeless, COC’s are encouraged to use funds for this population, it remains a HUD priority Demonstrating progress in reducing the chronic homeless population will continue to be a scored item in the COC application Creating new permanent housing for veterans is another HUD priority, and HUD strongly encourages COC’s to use at least a portion of available bonus funds to create a project that will serve disabled veterans.
2011 COC Bonus Criteria Preliminary Pro Rata Need (PPRN) is based on: Is the dollar expression of relative need assigned to a jurisdiction compared to other jurisdictions? Using nationally available data, including: Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) A formula-based poverty, housing overcrowding, age housing and growth lag.
