On March 11, 2021, Congress approved a $1.5 trillion American Rescue Plan. This plan contains $5
billion for affordable rental housing and homeless assistance through HOME-ARP. The formula
block grant funds provide cities with flexible funding to reach populations experiencing homelessness
or those currently at risk of homelessness and address local affordable housing, non-congregate
shelter, and supportive service needs within respective communities.

traditional HOME Program funds and are intended to address homelessness assistance and supportive
services. The following are eligible HOME-ARP uses:
