Eligible HPRP applicants are States, metropolitan cities,
urban counties, and territories who can subgrant to local units of government
and/or private nonprofit organizations. There is no match requirement. The funds
are allocated by the ESG formula, with a grant minimum set by HUD at $500,000.
Grantees are strongly encouraged to consider their capacity to use all of the
allocation and can request less than the full amount allocated and/or decline to
submit an application.
HPRP funds must be issued to a third party (e.g., a landlord
or utility company) and not directly to program participants. An assisted
property may not be owned by the grantee or subgrantee or the parent, subsidiary,
or affiliated organization of the subgrantee.
