The SHP Desk Guide was designed to help homeless assistance program staff administering McKinney-Vento grants awarded through SHP. SHP is a Federal grant program authorized by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 USC 11381-11389). SHP is designed to promote the development of housing and supportive services to assist homeless persons in the transition from the streets and shelters to permanent housing and self-sufficiency. The guide provides information, key resources, and technical assistance on the life cycle of grants obtained through SHP. Grants are awarded to nonprofit organizations, local and State governments, and other governmental entities. The guide contains basic information for new grantees and specific guidance on complicated policy issues for all grantees. The guide is not a substitute for program regulations, but instead is a practical resource for common issues that arise during program implementation.
