- Activities Benefiting Low- and Moderate-income Persons and/or Households: A low-to-moderate income person or household is one having an income equal to or less than the Section 8 lower income limits established by HUD. This objective includes direct services to the low-to-moderate income, services benefitting a low-income area, or ‘limited clientele’, who are designated groups presumed by HUD to automatically qualify as low-to-moderate income.
- Activities Which Aid in the Prevention or Elimination of Slums or Blight: This objective can be achieved on a spot basis, area basis, or address blight in a designated urban renewal area.
- Activities Designed to Meet Community Development Needs Having a Particular Urgency: This objective is given priority under formally declared state of emergencies and is normally used to alleviate urgent conditions caused by major catastrophes, natural disasters, or other emergencies that presents a serious and immediate threat to the health and welfare of the community.
ESG Components
ESG funding must qualify as meeting a component that will assist, protect, and improve living conditions for the homeless.
- Street Outreach: Meet the immediate needs of unsheltered homeless people by connecting them with emergency shelter, housing, and/or critical health services.
- Emergency Shelter: Increase the quantity and quality of temporary shelters provided to homeless people, through the renovation of existing shelters or conversion of buildings to shelters, paying for the operating costs of shelters, and providing essential services.
- Rapid Re-Housing: Move homeless people quickly to permanent housing through housing relocation and stabilization services and short- and/or medium term rental assistance.
- Homelessness Prevention: Prevent an individual or family from moving into an emergency shelter or living in a public or private place not meant for human habitation through housing relocation and stabilization services and short- and/or medium-term rental assistance
- Homeless Management Information System (HMIS): Fund ESG recipients’ and subrecipients’ participation in the HMIS collection and analyses of data on individuals and families who are homeless and at-risk of homelessness.
HOME Eligible Activities
HOME funds are to develop and support the supply of affordable rental housing and homeownership affordability through acquisition, new construction, reconstruction, or rehabilitation of non-luxury housing (including manufactured housing).
- Acquisition of vacant land or demolition must be undertaken only with respect to a particular housing project intended to provide affordable housing.
- Conversion of an existing structure to affordable housing is rehabilitation, unless the conversion entails adding one or more units beyond the existing walls, in which case, the project is new construction for purposes of this part.
