HOME-ARP may be used to develop affordable housing, for tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA), to provide supportive services and for the acquisition and development of non-congregate shelter units. The notice describes the requirements applicable to PJs’ use of HOME-ARP funds, including Consolidated Plan requirements and HOME program regulations. HUD also published an appendix describing the waivers and alternative requirements imposed on PJs for the use of HOME-ARP. The notice is effective immediately.
