FY 2015 Permanent Housing Bonus Initiative Summary:

The Permanent Housing Bonus is based on two overarching criteria: CoC need and project quality. A CoC is eligible to apply for up to 15 percent of its FPRN (final pro rata need). New projects created through a permanent housing bonus must meet the project eligibility and threshold requirements established by HUD in Sections V.F.2.d and V.F.2.e of the FY15 NOFA (Both have been extracted from the FY15 NOFA and found below).
