Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Funding

The City of Berkeley's will receive $1,332,952 in Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 to either prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless or help those who are experiencing homelessness to be quickly re-housed and stabilized.  In order to receive these funds, the City submitted a substantial amendment to its Consolidated Plan 2008 Action Plan.   

The substantial amendment describes how the City plans to utilize the HPRP funds, ideas for collaboration countywide as well as within various City departments also receiving ARRA funding and an estimated budget summary.  To view the HPRP report, click on this link, Substantial Amendment for HPRP.
