HOME American Rescue Plan Program (HOME-ARP) Tribal Applicants Grant

The HOME-ARP Tribal Applicants program aims to assist individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness by providing them with essential support services and permanent housing solutions. This initiative, backed by the California Department of Housing and Community Development, focuses on fostering self-sufficiency and housing stability for vulnerable populations. By offering case management, rental assistance, and navigation services, the program seeks to prevent future homelessness and ensure long-term financial stability for participants.

NOTE: The Department encourages all potential Applicants to request a pre-application consultation appointment prior to submitting an application.
Strategy
HPSP is a five-year program. The goal is to ensure that participants achieve housing stability and become financially stable prior to the sunset of the Program. It is also the Program’s intent to sufficiently invest in the most vulnerable Californians during their time in HPSP so that they are less likely to require further services to prevent instances of homelessness and housing instability after exiting the Program.
