The City of Provo and Utah Valley HOME Consortium are offering $1,759,085.00 in HOME Investment Partnership – American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) funding. This grant program is specifically designed for the acquisition and development of non-congregate shelters (NCS). While the specific foundation's mission alignment and strategic priorities are not detailed, the program's focus on providing safe housing aligns with broader community welfare and housing stability goals often supported by philanthropic foundations and governmental initiatives. The grant aims to address the critical need for secure, non-congregate housing for vulnerable populations. The primary target beneficiaries of this grant are individuals and families who are fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking. This includes individuals as defined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development 24 CFR 5.2003. The impact goal is to provide immediate and safe shelter for these highly vulnerable individuals, offering them a secure environment as they escape dangerous situations. The emphasis on non-congregate shelters ensures a private and safer alternative to traditional shelters, which is particularly crucial for victims of violence. The priorities and focuses of this grant include the acquisition of land and construction of new non-congregate shelters, as well as the acquisition and/or rehabilitation of existing structures such as motels, hotels, or other facilities to be converted into NCS units. It is explicitly stated that no funds may be used for the operational costs of these shelters, emphasizing capital investment in creating new housing resources. This focus ensures that the grant directly contributes to increasing the physical infrastructure available to support the target population. Expected outcomes include an increase in the availability of safe, private, and secure non-congregate housing options within the Utah Valley HOME Consortium boundaries, which encompass Provo City and Utah County (excluding Eagle Mountain, Alpine, and Fairfield). Measurable results would be the number of new NCS units created or existing structures converted, and by extension, the number of individuals and families from the qualifying population who can be safely housed. The theory of change implicit in this grant is that by providing dedicated, non-congregate shelter, the program will empower victims to escape violence and trafficking, offering them a crucial first step towards long-term safety and recovery. Eligible applicants for this funding include nonprofit, governmental, and/or quasi-governmental agencies, housing authorities, and for-profit entities. These entities must serve the defined Qualifying Population within the specified geographic boundaries. The grant deadline is May 20, 2024. While the "Size of the Grant" is listed as "Not Available" in one section, the total funding available is clearly stated as $1,759,085.00, indicating the overall investment. The "Grant Duration" is also "Not Mentioned," suggesting that the focus is on the completion of the acquisition and development projects rather than ongoing operational support.
