HCA Organizational Chart and Contacts

Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) Housing Contract Administration (HCA) has completed our realignment. We greatly appreciate your patience over the past several months.

 

We have updated our organizational chart to provide the staff roles, program assignments,and introduce new members of our team.

 

As we move forward, Jill House, Anne Colly Rose, and Margaret Ann Smith, the technical assistance specialists, are the primary contacts for new HCA inquiries. Each technical assistance specialist is responsible for helping partners in specific geographic regions of the state.

 

If you need assistance, please submit a request through the HCA Help Desk.

Rapid Re-Housing:  All You Need to Know to Get Started
During the next month, the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH) will release a series of resources for new rapid re-housing providers. Resources will focus on how to implement the Three Core Components of Rapid Re-Housing
  • Housing identification
  • Rent and move-in assistance 
  • Rapid re-housing case management and services
The NAEH will share blog posts, Webinars, best practices, and tools from communities who are successfully implementing the model and more.

To take advantage of tools, please sign up for the Alliance's Rapid Re-Housing newsletter and read the first blog post, Rapid Re-Housing: The Solution to Ending Homelessness in Your Community
Annual Project Completion Report
In an effort to comply with federal monitoring and compliance requirements, KHC is implementing an Annual Project Compliance Report (APCR) and Annual Project Compliance Certification. The report will allow KHC to meet federal requirements in a cost-effective and efficient manner while minimizing the impact on our partners. This report will be conducted and completed in addition to the occasional onsite and/or desk review. The APCR and Certification will be completed by the recipient/grantee agency and is for agencies receiving the following funding sources from KHC's HCA:
  • HOME and/ or AHTF Home Buyer
  • HOME and/or AHTF Homeowner Rehab
  • HOME TBRA
  • Houseworks
  • GAP funding Home Buyer and Homeowner Rehab
  • Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
  • Continuum of Care (CoC) - including Shelter Plus Care and previous supportive housing projects
  • Housing Opportunities for Persons With Aids (HOPWA)
The report was sent out via email on April 13, 2016, and is due by close of business on Friday, April 29, 2016. If you did not receive the email or need to get a copy of the APCR, you can find it on the HCA Help Desk under the Compliance. The first tab on the report gives instructions for completing the report.   

If you have questions about the APCR, please submit a request through the HCA Help Desk, and reference APCR.
