Plan for Homeless Prevention Funds

Plan for Homeless Prevention Stimulus Funds

The City is seeking public input on a plan to use $3.9 million in stimulus funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development for use in the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP).

These funds are to be used to provide homelessness prevention assistance to households who would otherwise become homeless - many due to the economic crisis - and to provide assistance to rapidly re-house persons who are homeless. The program will be administered via community organizations who directly serve the intended populations.

The Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program plan can be viewed by going to http://www.indy.gov/eGov/City/DMD/Community/Pages/home.aspx.
