Types of Programs
- Community Development Block Grant Program — (CDBG)
- The Community Development Block Grant Program Is authorized under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. The cow program grew out of the consolidation of eight categorical programs under which communities competed nationally for funds. Local governments participate in either the Entitlement Program (for cities over 50,000 in population or urban counties with more than 200,000 people).
- HOME Investment Partnership Program (Community Housing Development Organizations Only) — (HOME)
- HOME Infill Partnership Program (HOME) HOME is the largest federal block grant to state and local governments designed exclusively to create affordable housing for low-income households. HOME funds are awarded annually to entitlement participating jurisdictions. The program allows Garland to use HOME funds for grants, direct loans, and housing development.
- Emergency Solutions Grant Program — (ESG)
- Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG) The Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 (HEARTH Act) amended the Emergency Shelter Grant Program on January 4, 2012. The program’s sole focus is to address the needs of homeless people in emergency or transitional shelters to assist people in quickly regaining stability in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis and/or homelessness.
- HOME American Rescue Plan Program — (HOME-ARP)
- HOME American Rescue Plan Program (HOME-ARP) The HOME-ARP Partnership Program provides funding to participating jurisdictions to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability in Garland. HOME-ARP Programs must assist individuals or households who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, and other vulnerable populations, by providing housing, rental assistance, supportive services, and non-congregate shelter, to reduce homeless and increase housing stability. Garland has adopted to provide funding for Supportive Sevices and the Production of Affordable housing. This is a onetime allocation of funding.
