Request for Comments HOME-ARP Allocation Plan - Amendment 2

Boston, MALocal News

The proposed changes in the Amendment to the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan focus on enhancing support for veterans facing homelessness. By introducing a preference for these veterans in affordable rental housing funded through Home-ARP, the amendment aims to address an urgent social issue. Additionally, the plan reallocates $3,925,000 from various activities—Supportive Services, Non-Profit Capacity Building, and Administration and Planning—to bolster the Development of Affordable Rental Housing. This strategic shift highlights the city's commitment to improving housing accessibility for vulnerable populations. The public is invited to share their thoughts and feedback during the open comment period, which concludes on February 22, 2025.

Interested parties can submit their comments via email or by contacting the city directly by phone. The complete HOME-ARP Allocation Plan, along with a summary, can be accessed online for further insights. Engaging in this process allows community members to contribute to the shaping of housing policy in Boston.
