The purpose of the HOME Investment Partnership Program- American Rescue Plan (“HOME-ARP”) is to address the need for homelessness assistance and supportive services.  Per the policies within our HUD-approved HOME-ARP Allocation Plan, IHCDA will utilize HOME-ARP funds for the development of affordable rental housing and the provision of supportive services.

HOME-ARP funded units and supportive services must serve qualifying households.  A qualifying household is an individual or family that is (1) homeless, as defined in section 103(a) of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 11302(a)) (“McKinney-Vento”); (2) at risk of homelessness, as defined in section 401 of McKinney-Vento; (3) fleeing, or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking; (4) part of other populations where providing supportive services or assistance would prevent a family’s homelessness or would serve those with the greatest risk of housing instability; or (5) veterans and families that include a veteran family member that meet the criteria in one of (1)-(4) above.
