HOME-ARP Program

The City of Fort Collins has received a federal allocation of $2.6M through the HOME Investment Partnerships American Rescue Plan Program (HOME-ARP) from the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The purpose of this funding is to assist individuals or households who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, and other vulnerable populations, by providing housing, tenant based rental assistance, supportive services, and non-congregate shelter, to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability.

In 2022, the City of Fort Collins engaged in community consultation and a public participation process to develop a HOME-ARP Allocation Plan to receive the funds. The Plan describes how the City of Fort Collins intends to distribute HOME-ARP funds, including how it will use these funds to address the needs of HOME-ARP qualifying populations. The City submitted the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan to HUD as a substantial amendment to the Fiscal Year 2021 Annual Action Plan for HUD review and acceptance.
