Tri-Cities HOME-ARP Supportive Service Funding Opportunity 

In 2021, Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act, which provided $5 billion nationally to address the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), this one-time funding—known as HOME-ARP—supports communities in addressing housing instability and homelessness.

Qualifying Populations:
To qualify for HOME-American Rescue Plan (ARP) Supportive Services funding, the Applicant (“Applicant” or “Agency” throughout) must serve individuals and/or families that are:

1. Experiencing homelessness.
2. At-risk of homelessness.
3. Fleeing, or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking as defined by HUD.
4. Part of other populations where providing supportive services or assistance would prevent a family’s homelessness or would serve those with the greatest risk of housing instability.

To qualify for funds from the HOME-ARP Program, ALL qualifying populations must have access to apply for placement on the waiting list for an activity or project. 

For additional information on qualifying populations, see 24 CFR 91.5 or the HOME-ARP Supportive Services Policies and Procedures.
