2. HOME-ARP Survey

   The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) appropriated $5 billion to communities across the U.S. to provide housing, services, and shelter to individuals experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable populations. As part of the ARPA, Bexar County received $2,544,520 in supplemental funding through the Home Investment Partnership Program - American Rescue Plan Act (HOME-ARP).

   HOME-ARP is intended to assist individuals or households who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, and other vulnerable populations, by providing housing, rental assistance, supportive services, and non-congregate shelter, with the goal of reducing homelessness and increasing housing stability. HOME-ARP funds must be spent by September 30, 2030.

   The following survey is intended to collect stakeholder input which will be used to inform our investment strategy for HOME-ARP funds.
