The Federal HOME-ARP program provides a total of $5 billion to assist individuals or households who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, and other vulnerable populations. It is funded through The American Rescue Plan (ARP). The funding can be used to provide housing, rental assistance, non-congregate shelter, and/or supportive services.
Fort Wayne is slated to receive $4,029,194 in HOME-ARP funding to address homelessness & increase housing.
The City of Fort Wayne has completed a thorough gaps analysis and needs assessment as part of its planning for HOME-ARP funds. As part of the efforts, The City of Fort Wayne solicited feedback from stakeholders and community members in developing a draft Allocation Plan to determine how to spend the HOME-ARP funds.
