Purpose
In the 2022 General Session, the Legislature of the State of Utah allocated $55,000,000.00 of Federal funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to establish the Office of Homeless Services Deeply Affordable Housing Fund also referred to in the legislation as the Homeless Housing and Services Grant Program. This competitive grant program, administered by the Department of Workforce Services (DWS), Office of Homeless Services (OHS), is intended to fund one or more housing projects that include units that are affordable for households whose income is no more than 30% of the area median income (AMI) and who have been impacted by the COVID-19 emergency.
OHS is requesting grant applications for projects that will create new housing units that are affordable to the qualifying populations and that facilitate the movement of households experiencing literal homelessness, as defined in Federal Code 24 CFR 576.2, into safe, stable housing. Projects will provide supportive services to help participants obtain and maintain permanent housing.r
