TOSA shall first make the units available to persons or families that meet HUD’s definition of chronically homeless as defined in section 401(2)(A) of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11360(9)).

The restriction or preference must cite the supporting documentation to ensure inclusion and nondiscrimination in the selection of tenants. c. TOSV will ensure that all applicants for housing in the Village will go through the coordinated entry process used by the Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End Homelessness to ensure coordination and efficiency with the current homelessness services system. d. TOSA also will enter any new resident into the Homeless Management Information System (“HMIS”) coordinated entry system. e. Preference will be given to Salt Lake City residents for placement into the development. 3. Maximum Rents. The annualized rent (which includes all required housing costs such as utilities and other charges uniformly assessed to all Affordable Units, other than charges for optional services) per unit shall be set forth in a written lease and shall not exceed, for the term of the lease, 30% of the annual income limit for individuals and households with a maximum AMI of 25% AMI for the applicable Unit Type (i.e. studio or bedroom number). 4.

TOSV must provide other reports that may be reasonably requested by the City to confirm compliance with the requirements of the Ground Lease. F. SUPPORTIVE SERVICES 1. The pilot project will include supportive services to assist homeless persons in transitioning from homelessness, and to promote the provision of supportive housing to enable homeless persons to live as independently as possible. 2. Supportive services will include on-site case coordination or management that ensures tenants’ access to a wide variety of services and on-site location of services provided by professional service providers as evidenced through an agreement. 3.

These businesses are anticipated to be a motel (Community Inn), thrift store, and a cookie manufacturing. The businesses may change over time. 2. In addition to generating revenue to cover operating costs, these businesses will provide critical job training opportunities for residents.
