From: City of Longview

The City of Longview Community Development is seeking community input for how to use federal funds in the City.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Home Investments Partnerships (HOME) Program Grant has allocated the City of Longview $1,077,488 of the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021.  The City is seeking input from organizations that provide services to at-risk populations as well as from the general public.

Provider Survey (For organizations that serve qualifying populations including homeless, at-risk of homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking or human trafficking, veterans, and families)

Public Survey

The HOME American Rescue Plan (HOME ARP) Program was created under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. This program provides $5 billion to assist individuals or households who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, by providing housing, rental assistance, and supportive services. HOME ARP grant funds are administered through HUD’s HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). Participating Jurisdictions (PJs) that qualified for a HOME funds allocation for FY 2021, are eligible to receive HOME ARP grants.

To receive the HOME-ARP allocation, the city must develop a HOME-ARP Allocation Plan that will become part of the City’s PY2021 HUD Annual Action Plan by substantial amendment. This survey is one part of the consultation process undertaken by the City of Longview.
