Description
Pennsylvania’s HOME-ARP Supportive Services program is administered by the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) with funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It supports services necessary for qualifying individuals and families to obtain and maintain housing, including people experiencing homelessness, those at risk of homelessness, people fleeing violence or trafficking, and other populations facing housing instability.
The program covers McKinney-Vento supportive services, homelessness prevention, and housing counseling. Applicants may establish standalone services or combine them with other HOME-ARP activities through separate applications. Unless a funding notice specifies otherwise, Pennsylvania limits eligible work to case management, mental health services, transportation, housing search and counseling, financial assistance, and short- or medium-term financial assistance for rent.
