HUD is accepting applications for eligible renewal projects, new permanent housing projects created through reallocation, or the permanent housing bonus. Applicants should refer to the NOFA for details on eligible projects and other HUD requirements. New Permanent Housing Projects The KY BoS CoC is seeking partners to create new, permanent housing projects funded through HUD's CoC Program. Partners interested in applying for funding for new, permanent housing projects must complete the 2016 Pre-Application Form for New Permanent Housing Projects and return it to KHC by Wednesday, July 27, 2016. The form includes information about requirements for funding consideration by the KY BoS CoC.

KYHMIS Annual Licensing Invoices
Every year, KHC invoices for the next fiscal year's Kentucky Homeless Management Information System (KYHMIS) User License fees. In the 2015-2016 fiscal year, online payments were introduced to the KYHMIS agencies.
KHC has adopted this method of invoicing permanently. Invoices were recently emailed to each agency for fiscal year 2016-2017 billing. All agencies in the BoS and the Lexington CoC that participate in KYHMIS, and have users with licenses, should have received an invoice for their portion of the license fee.
The Louisville CoC will bill their Louisville CoC clients directly and then pay their portion of the license fees (for all Louisville agencies) directly to KHC.
Each BoS and Lexington CoC agency
must review the number of current KYHMIS users and plan for the number of KYHMIS user licenses they will need for the upcoming fiscal year.
If you are changing the number of user licenses needed for the upcoming year, you must submit these changes immediately to avoid disruption in your KYHMIS licensing. Your agency will be charged for the number of users listed. Please remember that user licenses cannot be shared by more than one user. Refunds will not be given for licenses requested in July, which weren't used consecutively during the year.
Agencies may access the
PNC Payment Center to log in or pay now. If you have any questions, please contact the HCA Help Desk toll-free at 800-633-8896 or 502-564-7630, extension 446; TTY 711; or
Submit a Request through the
HCA Help Desk.

KYHMIS Required Annual Documentation
All agencies are required to submit the following documentation each July. If a new user has recently been added to the system, the paperwork has to be re-completed for July and will be in effect for the entire fiscal year.
The documents are available on the HCA Help Desk, under KYHMIS Administrative Documentation, Agency Related Forms.
- The KYHMIS Agency Participation Agreement
- The Security Monitoring Form
- The KYHMIS User Confidentiality Agreement (one per user)
- The signature pages of the KYHMIS External Policy and Procedures (one per user)
The executive director should sign where indicated. Once completed, the forms must be scanned and submitted to the HCA Help Desk by Monday, August 1, 2016, to prevent suspension of KYHMIS licenses.
