What are HPRP Funds?

Click here for information on and resources to Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Program Funding (HPRP).
As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan of 2009, Congress and President Obama included funds for homelessness prevention and rapid re-housing activities. These funds have become known as the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Program (HPRP). These funds are designed to assist people who are at risk of becoming homeless and/or persons currently experiencing homelessness who can be returned to housing quickly.
