HOME ARP Program

The HOME American Rescue Plan (HOME ARP) Program was created under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to provide housing, services and shelter to individuals experiencing homelessness as well as other vulnerable populations.  HOME-ARP funds can be used for four eligible activities:
  • Production or Preservation of Affordable Housing
  • Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA)
  • Supportive Services, Homeless Prevention Services, and Housing Counseling
  • Purchase and Development of Non-Congregate Shelter. 
For more information about HOME ARP, please visit this HUD web page. 

The City of San José will be receiving $11,676,334 in HOME ARP funds. To receive funding, the City of San José must develop an Allocation Plan that includes input from community stakeholders. Participation opportunities are listed below for anyone interested in providing input.
