Description
SC Housing administers this HOME American Rescue Plan opportunity through a non-competitive 2026 funding cycle. Public housing authorities (PHAs) may request tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA), supportive services, or both. TBRA can cover rental assistance, security deposits, and utility deposits; supportive services can be provided separately or alongside rental assistance.
Assistance must benefit households in a HOME-ARP qualifying population: people experiencing or at risk of homelessness; people fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking; and other households needing assistance to prevent homelessness or facing the greatest risk of housing instability. SC Housing aims to distribute awards across South Carolina as evenly as practical. Awardees must fully expend their funding by September 1, 2030.
