9-A-3 Cash on Hand Certification.pdf

This is a Cash on Hand Certification attachment for the City of Detroit's Homelessness Solutions funding program, administered by the Housing and Revitalization Department through the Office of Contracting and Procurement. The certification requirement applies to all applicant organizations seeking to provide Year-Round Emergency Shelters for Detroit residents experiencing homelessness. Applicants must demonstrate financial capacity by certifying that their organization maintains adequate cash reserves available to cover three months of working capital necessary for timely payments to staff, utility companies, and other third-party vendors.

The certification acknowledges that the City's reimbursement process may experience delays due to various administrative factors, making adequate cash reserves a critical requirement for program participation. Organizations must complete the certification form by providing their organization name, authorized signatory name, title, signature, and date, confirming their ability to sustain operations for three months without reliance on City reimbursements. This requirement ensures that funded service providers possess the financial stability necessary to maintain continuous emergency shelter operations without interruption during the reimbursement cycle.
