Open for Public Comment - HOME-ARP Substantial Amendment - Update to the Allocation Plan

The Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and the Georgia Housing Finance Authority (GHFA) are posting a second amendment to the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan.  The Updated Document is posted below.

In the original HOME ARP Allocation Plan, DCA planned to re-evaluate program performance in Year Three and make proposed changes to the Allocation Plan’s remaining fund balances. Based on current conditions and funding demand, this update to the Georgia HOME ARP Allocation Plan includes updates to our redistribution policy and outlines the option for applicants to serve statewide population limitations and preferences with their awards.  

Funding Policy: 

DCA will commit all remaining programmatic funds in FY25. After awards, if additional funds are available within an allocation category, DCA will redistribute funds to the other allocation pools with the following priority: Supportive Services, Non-Congregate Shelter, and Rental Housing Development. 

Limitation Options:

  • QP1 – Homeless
    • Chronically Homeless 
  • QP2 – At Risk of Homelessness
  • QP3 – Fleeing Domestic Violence
  • QP4 – Other populations with the greatest risk of housing instability or requiring services or assistance to prevent homelessness
  • Veterans

Preference Options:

  • QP1 – Homeless
    • Chronically Homeless
  • QP2 - At Risk of Homelessness
  • QP3 – Fleeing Domestic Violence
  • QP4 – Other populations with the greatest risk of housing instability or requiring services or assistance to prevent homelessness
  • Veterans
