The HOME-ARP Initiative in North Dakota
Recognizing the urgent need to combat homelessness and provide crucial support services, the U.S. Congress allocated $5 billion through the American Rescue Plan (ARP) to bolster the HOME Investment Partnerships program known as HOME-ARP. This initiative focuses on delivering vital assistance to individuals and families experiencing homelessness, those at risk of homelessness, and other priority populations.
The North Dakota Housing Finance Agency (NDHFA) has awarded HOME-ARP grant funding to Community Action Partnership North Dakota (CAPND). CAPND will utilized the HOME-ARP grant funding to launch a statewide program, the HOME ARP Supportive Services Program, in January 2025. Leveraging its established network, CAPND will extend essential resources to underserved communities throughout North Dakota, directly addressing housing instability and fostering long-term well-being.
