Background:
During recent quality control reviews, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) identified an administrative error in the City’s HOME-ARP allocation that resulted in an under-allocation of $3,662. HUD has since corrected this error and increased the City’s HOME- ARP award accordingly, bringing the revised total award amount to $2,454,186. Upon Council approval, staff will submit reimbursement requests under the HOME-ARP program.
HOME-ARP funds are reimbursable; therefore, the City will allocate the additional funding to existing eligible programs and seek reimbursement through HOME-ARP. The City has until September 2030 to fully expend all HOME-ARP funds.

The City receives HOME-ARP funding to support individuals and families within qualifying populations, including those who are homeless; at risk of homelessness; fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking; other populations for whom assistance would prevent homelessness or address the greatest risk of housing instability; and veterans and families that include a veteran household member who meet one or more of these criteria.
