Opportunity Summary:
The Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5500 N 13) is a discretionary HUD grant program designed to strengthen housing stability and supportive service delivery for low-income people living with HIV/AIDS, including individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The overall purpose is to advance HUD's role in implementing the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) while also supporting broader federal goals laid out in HUD's FY 2010-2015 Strategic Plan and the Opening Doors Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness. In practice, the program is meant to reduce homelessness, expand the availability of affordable housing options, and improve how local housing systems connect with mainstream health and human service resources.
This funding round supports projects that do two things at the same time. First, it funds direct housing assistance and related service delivery for eligible households living with HIV/AIDS. This reflects the core HOPWA mission of helping people obtain and maintain stable housing, recognizing that housing stability is closely tied to health outcomes and consistent access to care. Second, it requires communities to engage in comprehensive planning and coordination work that brings together local housing and service systems. The emphasis is not only on providing help to individual households, but also on improving the overall local "system" that delivers housing and non-medical supportive services so that assistance is better coordinated, less duplicative, and easier for clients to navigate.
A central expected product of the grant-funded effort is the development and use of an Integrated HIV/AIDS Housing Plan (IHHP). Communities supported under this notice are expected to work toward issuing the IHHP at the end of the third year of operation. The IHHP is described as an administrative function, but the intent is broader than paperwork: it is supposed to document concrete local system changes in how housing and services are delivered to low-income people living with HIV/AIDS. In other words, grantees are expected to provide housing assistance while simultaneously examining how local providers and programs interact, then formalizing improvements that streamline and strengthen the local response.
Eligible applicants include states, units of general local government (including public housing authorities), and nonprofit organizations. HUD highlights the goal of encouraging states and localities to form new partnerships, including deeper involvement from public housing authorities, to create place-based strategies tailored to local conditions. Grant recipients are expected to integrate housing and non-medical supportive services into broader local planning efforts and to plan for sustaining the project beyond the grant period through coordinated local and regional planning. The IHHP is also positioned as a model that could inform similar efforts in other communities nationwide.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the program is categorized under Housing (CFDA 14.241). The estimated total funding available for this competition was $9,100,000, with an award ceiling of $1,375,000 per grant, and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted May 18, 2011, with an application deadline of August 2, 2011 (archived August 8, 2011). Applicants were directed to obtain the application package and instructions using the CFDA number, and programmatic questions were routed through the HUD field office serving the applicant's area, with TTY access available through the Federal Information Relay Service.
