What is a Joint TH and PH-RRH component project?

A Joint TH and PH-RRH Component project is a project type that includes two existing program components–TH and PH-RRH–in a single project to serve individuals and families experiencing homelessness. If funded, HUD will limit eligible costs as follows:

1. leasing of a structure or units, and operating costs to provide transitional housing;
2. short- or medium-term tenant-based rental assistance on behalf of program participants in the rapid rehousing portion of the project;
3. supportive services for the entire project;
4. HMIS; and
5. project administrative costs.

If awarded, recipients or subrecipients must be able to provide both components, including the units supported by the transitional housing component and the tenant-based rental assistance and services provided through the PH-RRH component, to all program participants up to 24 months as needed by the program participants. For example, a program participant may only need the temporary stay in transitional housing unit, but the recipient or subrecipient must be able to make available the financial assistance and supportive services that traditionally comes with rapid re-housing assistance to that program participant. This does not mean, however, that the applicant is required to request funding from the CoC Program for both portions of the project (e.g., the applicant may leverage other resources to pay for the transitional housing portion of the project).
