Additional Information on HPRP:
As a direct grantee, Glendale has been allocated $914,122 through HUD. The HPRP is focused on housing for homelessness and at-risk households. The program is being implemented through CAP. This is one-time money that has been allocated to Glendale as part of the ARRA legislation. Glendale’s program targets two populations of persons facing housing instability:
- Individuals and families who are currently in housing but are at risk of becoming homeless and need temporary rent or utility assistance to prevent them from becoming homeless or assistance to move to another unit (prevention), and
- individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness (residing in emergency or transitional shelters or on the street) and need temporary assistance in order to obtain housing and retain it (rapid re-housing).
Those that need assistance beyond the three months will be assisted through the HPRP case manager.
