Award Description: The purpose of the HPRP is to provide homeless prevention assistance to households who would otherwise become homeless (consider the impact of the current economic situation) and to rapidly re-house individuals and families who are currently homeless as defined by section 103 of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42U.S.C. 11302). HUD has provided this funding as an opportunity for communities to (1) develop strategies to identify eligible participants, (2) review and select prevention and rapid re-housing programs, and (3) create comprehensive plans designed to serve eligible participants. To this end HUD has provided two broad categories for the expenditure of this funding. The first is Temporary Financial Assistance and the second is Housing Relocation and Stabilization Services. Further defining these categories, HUD requires that the populations prioritized be (1) persons facing housing instability who are at risk of losing their housing and requiring temporary assistance to prevent this or to move to another home; (2) persons who are homeless (living in emergency or transitional shelters or on the street) who need temporary assistance in order to obtain housing and retain it. This second priority is called ?rapid re-housing assistance.?
