The federal government’s response to the pandemic is now over, but there’s still additional funding available for various projects paid for through the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act.
The City of Charlottesville expects an anticipated $340,000 through the HOME-ARP program that funnels out of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Applications are now being taken, according to a press release sent out on Monday.
“The Office of Community Solutions (OCS) seeks applications for HOME-ARP funding that can be used to acquire, rehabilitate, or construct rental housing within the Charlottesville City limits that are affordable to individuals and households with incomes at or below 60 percent of Charlottesville’s Area Median Income (AMI),” reads the announcement.
The bulletin also states that applications that can use the HOME-ARP funding to match other sources will receive special consideration. Projects must be completed within two years of winning the award.
Interested? There’s two workshops to learn more on June 22 with one at 10 a.m. in CitySpace and another at 5 p.m. in the Neighborhood Development Services conference room.
For more information, take a look at the city’s website.
