HOME ARP Citizen survey 2022

HOME ARP Citizen

To address the need for homelessness assistance, Congress appropriated $5 billion in ARP funds to be administered through HOME to perform four activities that must primarily benefit qualifying individuals and families who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or in other vulnerable populations.
HOME ARP approved activities include:

(1) development and support of affordable housing,

(2) tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA),

(3) provision of supportive services; and

(4) acquisition and development of non-congregate shelter units.
