Public Hearing for the HOME-ARP Program

 The American Rescue Plan (ARP) provides $5 billion to assist households who are homeless, at risk of homelessness and other vulnerable populations by providing housing, rental assistance, supportive services and noncongregate shelter, to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability across the country. These grant funds will be administered by the Department of Community and Economic Development (Department) through the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). Under this program, the Commonwealth received $73,094,403. HOME-ARP funds can be used for the following eligible activities:

 1. Acquire, rehabilitate or construct affordable rental housing.

 2. Tenant-based rental assistance.

 3. Supportive services.

 4. Acquisition and development of noncongregate shelter.

 5. Nonprofit operating and capacity building assistance.

 Under the program requirements, an allocation plan must be developed and submitted to HUD for approval. During the development of the HOME-ARP allocation plan, a virtual public hearing must be held.

 The virtual public hearing for the Commonwealth's allocation plan will be held on Thursday, April 21, 2022, at 3 p.m. by means of Microsoft Teams. The phone number to join the virtual public hearing is (267) 332-8737, with a conference ID/passcode of 289285420#. The virtual public hearing will be shortened if there is no one to testify or there is minimal response.

 Persons with disability or limited English proficiency who wish to participate in the virtual public hearing should contact Megan L. Snyder at (717) 787-5327 or TDD at (717) 346-0308 to discuss how the Department can accommodate their requests.

 In accordance with HUD's CPD-21-10 notice, the comment period for the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan will be 15 calendar days. Prior to the comment period starting, additional information such as the start date and how to provide public comment will be provided. However, the Department must update its Citizen Participation Plan to include this programmatic requirement.
