The National Housing Trust Fund is a federal program to increase and preserve the supply of affordable housing, with an emphasis on rental housing for extremely low-income households.

NHTF provides financing available as a deferred payment loan or forgivable loan. The regulatory agreement will be for 55 years.

HHAP makes available grant allocations to cities, counties, and continuums of care with flexible funding to prevent and end homelessness in their regions.

For Tribal HHAP, which provides homelessness funding for California Federally Recognized Tribes, please see the Tribal HHAP Website.

The HOME-ARP program allocated $131 million through various NOFAs to support developers, nonprofit service providers, and Tribal Entities in addressing homelessness and assisting vulnerable populations.

This funding includes opportunities for affordable housing development under the HOME-ARP Rental Housing NOFA, as well as initiatives for supportive services through the Housing Plus Support Program (HPSP) NOFA. These efforts aim to benefit individuals and families currently homeless or at risk, aligning with the program's mission to provide essential support and stability.
