•	Proposed change to Coordinated Entry Policies & Procedures for Rapid Rehousing service provision – Jennifer Harrell
o	Current policy: Minimum length of RRH assistance = 6 months & Maximum length of RRH assistance = 18 months
o	Proposed change: Extend the maximum length of CoC-funded RRH financial assistance to the maximum allowed by HUD, which is 24 months.
o	Reasoning: We have noticed an increasing number of clients ‘coming back’ through CE in need of additional financial assistance who have currently received the maximum amount of assistance currently allowed (18 months). Extending the maximum length of time would allow our CoC RRH providers to assist these clients with further assistance.
