On September 9, 2023, the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH) announced the availability of Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Program Round 5 grant funding. HHAP Round 5 is a $1 billion block grant program authorized by AB 129 (Health & Safety Code § 50230, et seq.), which was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom on July 10, 2023.
 
Round 5 is designed to build on regional coordination developed through previous rounds of the HCFC Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP), HHAP Rounds 1-4, and COVID-19 funding. Round 5 funds should be used to continue to build a unified regional response to reduce and end homelessness, informed by a best-practices framework focused on moving homeless individuals and families into permanent housing and supporting the efforts of those individuals and families to maintain their permanent housing.
