Housing, Shelter and Supportive Services Programs
Homeless Crisis Response Program
The HCRP has been established in order to better meet community objectives and the needs of the Bronx’s homeless persons.
The goal of the HCRP is to prevent individuals and families from entering homelessness and, where homelessness does occur, to provide assistance in finding emergency shelter and to rapidly move persons from emergency shelter into permanent housing.
The HCRP is divided into two components: 1) emergency shelter operations; and 2) shelter diversion and rehousing activities. Funding is a blended formula/competitive model that balances service coverage and incentivizing performance within the grant period.
Community Housing Improvement Program
The Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) provides assistance to eligible community residents interested in undertaking housing-related activities, including necessary infrastructure improvements. The assistance are awarded competitively and encourage a flexible, community-wide approach to the improvement and provision of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income persons, as well as help develop local administrative capacity.
Neighborhood Stabilization Program
Congress created the Neighborhood Stabilization Program to help cities, counties and states deal with community problems that are the result of the mortgage foreclosure crisis in the nation. At the Federal level, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides money to local governments (cities and counties), nonprofits, and all 50 states. HUD has allocated $6.82 billion to 307 NSP1 grantees, 56 NSP2 grantees, and 270 NSP3 grantees.
NSP grantees develop their own programs and funding priorities. However, grantees must use at least 25 percent of the funds appropriated for the purchase and redevelopment of abandoned or foreclosed homes or residential properties that will be used to house individuals or families whose incomes do not exceed 50 percent of the area median income.
Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP)
We provide assistance and services to either prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless or help those who are experiencing homelessness to be rapidly re-housed and stabilized.
