Stimulus funding made available for Ada County and Boise through the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) has been fully committed and the program has closed. In the event residual funding becomes available, an update will be posted at:
http://www.cityofboise.org/Departments/PDS-HCD/index.aspx.The City of Boise received HPRP funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The intent of the program is to assist persons who are homeless or would be homeless but for this assistance. The program is designed to assist persons that can remain stably housed after the temporary assistance ends. Interested persons who need long-term or intensive support can be provided referrals to other community resources for assistance.
Funds are available to provide housing assistance, supportive services and case management for individuals and families who are in housing but are at risk of becoming homeless in addition to those experiencing homelessness and need temporary assistance in order to obtain and retain housing (rapid re-housing). HPRP is not a mortgage assistance program. HPRP funds are only eligible to assist program participants—whether they are renters or homeowners about to become homeless—pay for utilities, moving costs, security deposits and rent in a new unit, storage fees, and other financial costs or services. HPRP funds are not eligible to pay for any mortgage costs or legal or other fees associated with retaining homeowners’ housing. Click HERE to read the HPRP Information Packet.
