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.
The City of Orange was awarded $1,655,186 in HOME-ARP funding. These funds are not the traditional
HOME Program funds and are intended to address homelessness assistance and supportive services. The
following are eligible HOME-ARP uses:
1. Development and Support of Affordable Rental Housing;
2. Tenant-Based Rental Assistance;
3. Supportive Services for Qualifying Populations; and
4. Acquisition and Development of Non-Congregate Shelter (NCS)
