As part of the joint funding award through HSN, Seminole County was selected as a sub-recipient agency to sponsor a CoC funded RRH project in the amount of $35,457. A 25% county match in the amount of $8,864.25 is required per CoC guidelines and will be met with Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding.
