In 2021, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) allocated funding appropriated through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARP) of 2021 to HOME Investment Partnerships Program participating jurisdictions under the HOME Investment Partnerships American Rescue Plan Program (“HOME-ARP”). HOME-ARP funds are intended to provide financial resources to assist vulnerable populations through housing, shelter, and supportive services for persons experiencing or at risk of homelessness, fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking, and other populations at greatest risk of housing instability.

Following application review and eligibility determination, the agencies listed below were recommended for funding based on the consistency of their proposed program design with the requirements of HUD Notice CPD-21-10, including the provision of eligible supportive services to HOME-ARP qualifying populations, as well as their demonstrated organizational capacity and experience serving vulnerable populations within Hidalgo County.
