Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)

The Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) is a grant funded program that provides housing funding for non-profit agencies that specialize in assisting Hoosiers with AIDS/HIV and their families. The HOPWA program is available within 77 of Indiana's 92 counties and is based on the number of Hoosiers with AIDS/HIV and is only awarded to those agencies that show as a part of their mission a focus on servicing these Persons. The remaining counties receive their funds through Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Louisville. There are specific requirements your non-profit must adhere to in order to receive the HOPWA funding.

Please contact Greg Majewski (317-233-1817), HOPWA Coordinator with any questions.

Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program (HPRP)

The Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program (HPRP) is created by funds from Title XII of the American Recovery and Rehabilitation Act of 2009 (ARRA) to allow expanded prevention and/or rapid rehousing for persons with moderate barriers to stable permanent housing.  It is available to entitlement cities and the balance of state with a total allocation of approximately $28 million for Indiana.  IHCDA is working with Indiana Continuum of Care regions to develop “single point of access” organizations to coordinate and administer these funds. The program begins in September 2009 and extends for three years.   Please visit this site regularly to view updates from the program.
