Florida Housing will host a workshop on December 2 at 2 p.m. ET regarding Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) from the American Rescue Plan Act (HOME-ARP). Register here.
On April 8, 2021 HUD announced the HOME-ARP allocations for participating jurisdictions and that guidance for use of the funds would be released in Fall 2021. Florida Housing was awarded $71,903,340 as the recipient of the state’s non-entitlement allocation. This funding is to provide homelessness assistance and supportive services through the following activities:
- Development and support of affordable housing, as currently permitted under the HOME program;
- Tenant-based rental assistance;
- Supportive services, including activities, such as transitional housing, housing counseling and homeless prevention services; and/or
- Acquisition and development of non-congregate shelter units, which may be converted to permanent affordable housing, used as emergency shelter or remain as non-congregate shelter units.
