Public Comment Open on 2021 HOME-ARP Allocation Plan Amendment

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

The Program Year 2021 Annual Action Plan and corresponding HOME-ARP Allocation Plan have been amended to include two projects to be supported with HOME-American Rescue Act (HOME-ARP) funds. The reports work in conjunction with one another, but for full details about the projects please see the Allocation Plan (here, or in the sidebar to the right).

The American Rescue Plan (ARP), signed into law on March 11, 2021, provided $1.9 trillion to help with the economic recovery due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The American Rescue Plan (ARP) allocated $5 billion to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) to assist individuals or households who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, and other vulnerable populations, by providing housing, rental assistance, supportive services, and non-congregate shelter, to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability across the country.

HOME-ARP funds must be used to primarily benefit individuals or families from the following qualifying populations:

• Homeless,

• At-risk of homelessness

• Fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking

• Other populations with the greatest risk of housing instability;

• Veterans and families that include a veteran family member

Both reports are available in the Documents bar in the sidebar.
