Under existing law, grants under the HHAP program are allocated in 4 rounds of funding, administered by the associated staff within the Interagency Council on Homelessness, as provided. Existing law requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to submit an annual report to the Governor and both houses of the Legislature on the operations and accomplishments during the previous fiscal year of the housing programs administered by the department. Existing law requires that the report include, among other things, the number of units assisted by those programs and the number of individuals and households served and their income levels.
