Oregon HIV/AIDS Housing and Services Systems Integration Plan—Appendices A-51 construction, and tenant-based rental assistance. Assistance can take the form of loans, advances, equity investments, interest subsidies, and others. A portion (at least 15 percent) of HOME funds must be set aside for community housing development organizations (CHDOs), which are nonprofit organizations that meet certain HUD-established criteria. Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) http://www.hud.gov/offices/cpd/aidshousing/programs/ The HOPWA program is also part of the Consolidated Plan process. HOPWA provides grant funds to state and local governments to design long-term, comprehensive strategies for meeting the housing needs of lowincome people living with HIV/AIDS and their families. Participating jurisdictions have the flexibility to create a range of housing programs, including housing information services, resource identification, project- or tenant-based rental assistance, short-term rent, mortgage, and utility payments to prevent homelessness, development and housing operations, and support services. Ninety percent of HOPWA funds are awarded through formula entitlement grants, and the remaining 10 percent are awarded through a competitive grant program. HOPWA Formula Grants HUD awards 75 percent of HOPWA Formula Grant funds to eligible states and qualifying cities. Eligibility is based on the number of cases of AIDS reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as of March 31 of the year prior to the appropriation. Eligible metropolitan statistical areas (EMSAs) and states receive direct allocations of HOPWA funding when 1,500 cumulative cases of AIDS are diagnosed in a region. The remaining 25 percent of funds is allocated among metropolitan areas that have had a higher than average per capita incidence of AIDS. HOPWA formula entitlement grantees may carry out eligible programs themselves, deliver them through any of their administrative entities, select or competitively solicit project sponsors, and/or contract with service providers. HOPWA Competitive Grants Competitive grants are awarded in the following categories: • Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS). Because of their innovation or ability to be replicated, these projects are intended to be models for addressing the needs of low-income people living with HIV/AIDS and their families. • Long-Term Comprehensive Strategies for Providing Housing and Related Services. Applications in this category can be submitted by state or local governments that are not eligible for HOPWA formula allocations during that fiscal year. HUD Homeless Assistance Continuum of Care In order to encourage the integration and coordination of community homeless assistance, HUD’s primary homeless assistance programs—Supportive Housing Program, Shelter Plus Care, Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG – which is also included in the Consolidated Plan), and Single Room Occupancy Program (formerly Section 8 SRO Mod. Rehab.)—are combined under the Continuum of Care planning and allocation process. The Continuum of Care system includes four components: outreach to and needs assessment of individuals or families who are homeless, emergency shelters with supportive services, transitional housing with support services, and permanent independent or supportive housing to meet long-term needs. The establishment of a Continuum of Care system involves a community-wide or region-wide process involving nonprofit
A-52 Appendices—Oregon HIV/AIDS Housing and Services Systems Integration Plan organizations (including those representing persons with AIDS and other disabilities), government agencies, other homeless providers, housing developers and service providers, private foundations, neighborhood groups, and homeless or formerly homeless individuals. It is very important for applicants to understand that funding for the Supportive Housing Program, Shelter Plus Care, and Single Room Occupancy projects must be applied for within the context of the Continuum of Care process. Supportive Housing Program (SHP) http://www.hud.gov/offices/cpd/homeless/programs/shp/ SHP program funds are used to provide supportive housing, either as transitional housing for homeless people or permanent housing for homeless people who have disabilities, including people living with HIV/AIDS. In addition, SHP funds can also be used for safe havens, which provide specialized permanent housing for severely mentally ill homeless persons who have been unwilling to participate in support services as well as support services for people not living in supportive housing, and other innovative supportive housing models. SHP funds can be used for a range of activities from land acquisition to administrative expenses. Shelter Plus Care (S+C) http://www.hud.gov/offices/cpd/homeless/programs/splusc/ The Shelter Plus Care program provides rental assistance for permanent housing, linked with support services funded by other sources, to homeless and disabled people and their families. Activities under Shelter Plus Care include tenant-based rental assistance, project-based rental assistance, sponsor-based rental assistance, and moderate rehabilitation assistance for single room occupancy dwellings through the Single Room Occupancy Program described below. Single Room Occupancy Program (Section 8 SRO Mod. Rehab.) http://www.hud.gov/offices/cpd/homeless/programs/sro/ Under the Housing Choice Voucher Single Room Occupancy Program (formerly the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program for Single Room Occupancy Dwellings), HUD contracts with public housing authorities (PHAs) to enable the moderate rehabilitation 1 of residential properties that, when completed, will contain multiple single room dwelling units. The PHAs make rental assistance payments to the landlords on behalf of the homeless individuals who rent the rehabilitated dwellings, covering the difference between a portion of the tenant’s income (normally 30 percent) and the HUD-established Fair Market Rent of the unit. The program does not provide financing for the rehabilitation work, but a portion of this cost is reflected in the rent. Other HUD Programs HUD has many other programs, but three are particularly relevant when developing housing for people living with HIV/AIDS: Section 811 - Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities; the Housing Choice Voucher Program (formerly Section 8); and the Housing Choice Voucher Mainstream Disabilities Program. 1 HUD considers moderate rehabilitation to be a minimum of $3,000 of rehabilitation work per unit.
