Federal Programs that Support Individuals Experiencing Homelessness
As the COVID-19 pandemic progresses, community-based organizations are beginning to see that the homelessness crisis will be magnified due to the economic fallout caused by COVID-19. While subject to constant change, it is important for service providers to know the options available to them for funding from the federal government. This resource helps by mapping out several of those options along with some key descriptors so that service providers can easily access information on federal grants aimed at ending homelessness.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
For additional information regarding FEMA Individual Assistance / Public Assistance Programs, please work through your local, tribal or state emergency management office.
For questions related to HHS programs, please contact your ASPR Regional Emergency Coordinators (REC). RECs serve as ASPR’s primary representatives throughout the country at the regional level. Building relationships with federal, state, local, tribal and territorial officials and healthcare representatives (partners and stakeholders) in order to conduct planning for effective federal emergency response, and to facilitate coordinated preparedness and response activities for public health and medical emergencies, is the main role of the RECs.
For questions related to HUD programs, please contact your local CPD Office. Indigenous tribes and tribally designated housing entities should direct all questions to their HUD Area Offices of Native American Programs.
