Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds - Several federally funded programs contribute housing assistance specifically targeted to the homeless mentally ill. When funds do not flow through OMH, but are sent directly to the provider, the funds are reported under this program code and funding code 090 (non-funded) on the DMH-3. Federal Programs which fall into this category are Transitional Housing Program (THP), Supported Housing Demonstration Program (SHDP), and some Shelter Plus Care grants. Funds may be used for: the acquisition and/or rehabilitation of a program site; operating expenses; support services; and administrative expenses. These funds flow directly to the not-for-profit provider agencies from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. Nonetheless, OMH requires that any not-for-profit agency in receipt of these funds report the funds in a separate program column with the program code indexed if necessary. These grants are made for five years at a time.
