Background:
On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was signed into law, including the appropriation of $5 billion to be administered through the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program to address the need for homelessness assistance and supportive services. Hennepin County has been awarded a one-time allocation of $6,415,971 of HOME American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) funding on behalf of the Hennepin County Consortium (all Hennepin County cities except for Minneapolis).
Hennepin County's HOME-ARP Allocation Plan, adopted September 27, 2022 (Resolution 22-0358), follows the priorities and goals identified in the county's 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the requirements of the American Rescue Plan Act, and HUD Notice CPD-21-10.
The HOME-ARP Allocation Plan amendment adjusts the initial two project budgets to fund a third supportive housing project in suburban Hennepin County, as well as to support the administration of the Plan.
This substantial amendment was made available to the public for HUD's required 15-day public comment period from May 14, 2024 through May 29, 2024. The public comment period is a submission requirement of the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan; public comments and the county's written response will be incorporated into the final document submitted to HUD.
