relationship between funds requested 

for housing activities (i.e., transitional 

and permanent) and funds requested for 

supportive service activities. Housing 

emphasis will be calculated on eligible 

new and renewal projects within FPRN, 

eligible Samaritan Housing Initiative 

projects, eligible Rapid Re-Housing for 

Families Demonstration Program 

projects, and eligible S+C renewal 

projects. HUD will count as a housing 

activity all approvable requests for 

funds for rental assistance and 

approvable requests for acquisition, 

rehabilitation, construction, leasing and 

operations when used in connection 

with housing. HMIS costs and 

administrative costs will be excluded 

from this calculation. CoCs are not 

required to have 100 percent housing 

activities to receive the full 18 points for 

these scoring criteria.
