American Rescue Plan Act
The Federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 appropriated $5 billion to provide housing, services, and shelter to individuals experiencing homeless and other vulnerable populations, to be allocated by formula to jurisdictions that qualified for HOME Investment Partnerships Program allocations in Fiscal Year 2021.
The Nevada Housing Division (NHD) received $6,444,739 in HOME American Rescue Plan (ARP) funding from Housing and Urban Development (HUD). NHD made these funds available to non-profits, participating jurisdictions (PJs) and other organizations that serve qualifying populations.
There are four Qualifying
Populations (QPs) that are eligible for and must be provided access to HOME ARP
activities, please refer to the HOME ARP Notice for complete definitions:
- People experiencing
homelessness;
- People at-risk of
homelessness;
- People who are
fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or
human trafficking, and
- Other populations
for whom supportive services or assistance would prevent homelessness or who
face the greatest risk of housing instability.
The funding will be used
to provide any of the following HOME ARP eligible client activities:
- Rental housing (referred to in the allocation plan as affordable rental housing)
- Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA)
- Supportive Services
- Acquisition and development of non-congregate shelter (NCS)
- Participating Jurisdictions (PJs) may also utilize funding for administration and planning activities as well as nonprofit operating and capacity building assistance
Under the program requirements, an allocation plan must be developed and submitted to HUD
for approval. The State of Nevada’s HUD approved HOME ARP allocation plan can
