To provide States and localities with the resources and incentives to devise long-term comprehensive strategies for meeting the supportive housing needs of low-income persons and their families living with HIV/AIDS in order to prevent homelessness and sustain housing stability for HOPWA program beneficiaries.

A - Formula Grants (Apportionments)

HOPWA offers two types of awards: (1) Formula entitlement grants: Eligible states and qualifying cities, as defined in 24 CFR 574.3, qualifying for formula allocation under HOPWA. (2) Competitive grants: (a) States, units of local governments and nonprofit organizations for special projects of national significance; (b) States and units of local government that do not qualify for HOPWA formula allocations under the category of long-term grants; and (c) Nonprofit organizations are eligible to apply for projects of national significance as a grantee, but may also serve as a project sponsor under any competitive or formula grantees. Additional applicant eligibility may apply depending on the competitive grant opportunity. As required by the Appropriations Acts, HUD gives funding priority to the renewal of expiring permanent supportive housing projects. When funding is available for new competitive grants, there may be additional requirements for applicant eligibility established under the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).

There are two basic elements of HOPWA eligibility: • Family has a least one person living with HIV/AIDS. This includes families where the only eligible person is a minor. Medical verification of status is required; and • Total household income is less than 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI), as defined by HUD.
