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.
$16 million in funding has been made available to organizations with extensive experience developing and operating transitional housing and permanent affordable housing for the reentry population. Reentry Housing Pilot Project (RHPP) funding can be used to acquire, rehabilitate, and/or construct permanent housing to assist the reentry population.
