The Arizona Department of Housing 2010 Information Bulletin REGARDING PROGRAMS: RENTAL REGARDING FUNDING SOURCES: Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program INFORMATION BULLETIN 01‐10 ISSUED: January 27, 2010 RE: 2010 LIHTC Application Workbook At the 2010 Low Income Housing Tax Credit Application Workshop held on January 19, 2010, ADOH introduced the electronic submission of the 2010 LIHTC Application workbook. Applicants who downloaded the Application workbook prior to January 27th did so during our test mode. The Application workbook has been updated to correct errors noted at the training. Because of these errors, the Application workbook provided on the CD‐Rom should not be used for on‐line submission. Applicants who registered prior to January 27 received a five (5) digit Unique Project Identification Number (UPIN) and must re‐register their application to receive a four (4) digit UPIN number, and download an updated version of the 2010 LIHTC Application Workbook. Registrants must identify their project with a unique project name. The unique project name, and the UPIN assigned when the project is registered, identify your project through the application process. Effective Tuesday, January 27, 2010 the 2010 LIHTC Application download and Registration process is accessible through the ADOH website at www.azhousing.gov from the Rental Development/Forms & Handbooks page.

INFORMATION BULLETIN No. 02‐10 ISSUED: February 1, 2010 RE: Guidance to local governmental entities (towns, cities, counties) contracting with the Arizona Department of Housing for funding for any of the above programs in complying with A.R.S. 1‐501 and 1‐502 (reference House Bill 2008). The Arizona State Legislature recently enacted House Bill 2008 which sets forth new laws A.R.S. 1‐501 and 1‐502. These new laws which went into effect on November 24, 2009, require that applicants applying to the state or to a local governmental entity for certain state or federal benefits show proof of lawful presence in the United States, as well as sign a sworn affidavit stating that required documentation is true under penalty of perjury. Additionally, the laws require that employees of the state and political subdivisions of the state report discovered violations of federal immigration law. Failure to report violations is a class 2 misdemeanor by the employee who failed to report, as well as knowledgeable supervisors who failed to take action as directed under law. A copy of these laws can be downloaded at: A.R.S. 1‐501 (http://www.azleg.gov/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/1/00501.htm&Title=1&DocType=ARS) and A.R.S. 1‐502 (http://www.azleg.gov/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/1/00502.htm&Title=1&DocType=ARS). All cities, towns and counties contracting with the Arizona Department of Housing (ADOH) to provide any of the above programs have a responsibility to review these new laws and immediately adopt operating procedures which will insure compliance with state law. Contractors must establish their own process for reporting discovered violations as required by HB‐2008 and are advised to consult with legal counsel or U.S. Immigration & Customers Enforcement (ICE) for further guidance. ADOH staff will review procedures of contractors at the time of on‐site monitoring and failure to comply could result in a 1 finding of noncompliance. Additionally, if in the course of monitoring ADOH staff members discover a violation of federal immigration law the violation will be reported to ICE by ADOH staff. Documentation of Lawful Presence Notwithstanding other federal regulations, in meeting the documentation requirements of these laws, applicants must demonstrate lawful presence in the United States by providing at least one of the following documents: 1. An Arizona driver license issued after 1996 or an Arizona non‐operating identification license. 2. A birth certificate or delayed birth certificate issued by any state, territory or possession of the United States. 3. A United States certificate of birth abroad. 4. A United States passport. 5. A foreign passport with a United States visa. 6. An I‐94 form with a photograph. 7. A United States citizenship and immigration services employment authorization document or refugee travel document. 8. A United States certificate of naturalization. 9. A United States certificate of citizenship. 10. A tribal certificate of Indian blood. 11. A tribal or bureau of Indian affairs affidavit of birth. To the extent permitted by federal law, tribal members, the elderly (60 years of age or older) and persons with disabilities or incapacity of the mind or body may provide documentation as specified in section 6036 of federal deficit reduction act of 2005 and related federal guidance in lieu of the documentation required above. Eligibility determinations include initial applications and redeterminations. At the time of redetermination, the contractor will ascertain whether the individual’s file contains copies of the appropriate document(s) to establish citizenship or alien status. If it does, the individual does not have to produce the documents again. However, if no affidavit was previously required the individual must provide an affidavit attesting that the documents previously provided are true. If the file does not contain copies of the document(s), the individual must provide the documents and an affidavit. Additionally, if the document used to verify alien status has expired, the applicant must produce a new document. Sworn Affidavit An applicant must also sign a sworn affidavit stating that the documents presented are true under penalty of perjury. A form of affidavit satisfactory to Arizona Department of Housing is attached. Alternative formats may be used as long as the affidavit meets the legal requirements of the acts. Each beneficiary file must contain the affidavit (or a copy of an affidavit if one affidavit is being used to apply for multiple programs) and a copy of the documentation provided. Definition of Public Benefits Federal, state and local public benefits are defined in federal law as [8 U.S.C. 1611(c) and 8 U.S.C. 1621(c)]:   Any grant, contract, loan, professional license, or commercial license provided by an agency of the United States or State or local government or by appropriated funds of the United States or a State or local government; and Any retirement, welfare, health, disability, public or assisted housing, postsecondary education, food assistance, unemployment benefit, or any other similar benefit for which payments or assistance are provided to an individual, household, or family eligibility unit by an agency of the United States or a 2 State or local government or by appropriated funds of the United States or a State or local government. Certain programs have been determined to not meet the definition of “public benefit”. Those most notable within the realm of housing assistance are emergency disaster relief programs, services or assistance such as soup kitchens, crisis counseling and intervention, emergency shelter and transitional housing delivered at the community level and necessary for the protection of life and safety. The activity of developing housing opportunities, in and of itself, does not meet the definition of a “public benefit”. 1110 W.

Established in 1988 by the Arizona State Legislature, the Housing Trust Fund (HTF) was created to provide a flexible funding source to assist in meeting the housing needs of low‐income families in Arizona. Federal HOME Funds (HOME): The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds are allocated to the State through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HOME was created by the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (NAHA). Regulations governing the HOME Investment Partnership Program are published at 24 CFR Part 92 (Final Rule, published September 16, 1996. Revised Final Rule amendments were published October 31, 2002.). Applicants are encouraged to become familiar with Federal regulations.

This NOFA is for housing rehabilitation programs for owner occupied single family dwellings. For FY2011, the Department expects to allocate approximately $4,000,000.00 in SHF. The SHF will be allocated through one competitive funding round and the application submission deadline is January 14, 2011 at 4:00 p.m. The Application process for SHF can be found in the SHF Program Summary and Application Guide. The guide can be downloaded from the ADOH website at: www.azhousing.gov. GENERAL OVERVIEW The mission of the Department is to “provide housing and community revitalization to benefit the people of Arizona.” The Owner Housing Objective for FY2011 is:  To improve through owner‐occupied housing rehabilitation programs, the quality of owner‐occupied housing. In support of this Objective, the Department will allocate HOME funds to activities that improve the condition of housing units to meet the following standards:    State’s Rehabilitation Standards. Local codes, zoning and ordinances, or if no Local code exists, meet model building codes. Newly reconstructed units must meet Model Energy Code and Energy Star standards. 1 The funding process can be found in the SHF Program Summary and Application Guide which includes information regarding: 1. Completeness review. 2. Threshold review. 3. Scoring. 4. Financial and Technical review. 5. Funding review. Eligible Activities Rehabilitation of owner‐occupied housing units, including:  Reconstruction When the cost to rehabilitate the existing housing unit is in excess of the cost to replace the unit, then reconstruction is an eligible activity. Reconstruction is eligible to the extent that the replacement unit will be situated on the same property as the existing unit and the replacement unit is substantially the same as the existing unit, except when a larger or smaller unit is necessary to comply with property standards or local zoning, codes or ordinances. Reconstruction includes replacement of existing manufactured housing. Unit being replaced must be demolished and removed from the property receiving assistance.  Refinancing Refinancing existing debt that is secured by the existing housing unit is an eligible activity in conjunction with rehabilitation only if State funds loaned for rehabilitation and refinancing will result in a lower overall housing cost than would result from any other combination of loans. For example: A homeowner is seeking rehabilitation assistance. They have an outstanding principal balance on their first mortgage of $30,000, at 10% interest, with a monthly payment of $263. The cost of rehabilitation is $15,000. The rehabilitation agency is offering a rehabilitation loan at 4% for a 20‐year term, with a monthly cost to the homeowner of $91. The monthly payments for both loans would total $354, making participation in the rehabilitation program a financial burden for the homeowner. Using State funds to refinance the first mortgage and include the rehabilitation loan would result in a monthly payment of $273, a lower overall housing cost. Eligible Applicants Eligible applicants are limited to:      Units of local government, including cities, towns and counties. Tribal governments, tribally designated housing entities, and tribal housing authorities. Public Housing Authorities. Regional Councils of Government. Non‐Profit Agencies, including Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs). All applicants must be authorized to conduct business in Arizona. 2 Eligible Beneficiaries All assisted homeowners must meet the following guidelines:  Have an annual gross income that does not exceed 80 percent of the area median income adjusted by household size.  The household must be income eligible at the time the rehabilitation commitment is made to the homeowner.  Certify that they occupy the property as their principal and only residence. Eligible Property Types The following property types are eligible:  Single‐family (one‐unit structures).  Condominium units.  Manufactured housing only if the unit upon completion will be:  located on a permanent foundation (requires certification) and is connected to permanent utility hook‐ups;  is located on land that is held in fee‐simple title, or long‐term ground lease with a term of at least 99 years (50 years for tribal land);  meets the construction standards of 24 CFR 3280 if manufactured after June 15, 1976; or, meets applicable local and/or state codes if manufactured prior to June 15, 1976; and  meets all other requirements of Chapter 5 of the SHF Program Summary and Application Guide. Maximum Applicant Funding The maximum limit of HOME funding available per application is $300,000. An additional 10% (up to $30,000) in general administrative funding thru the Housing Trust Fund is also available for a total maximum application funding of $330,000.00. Only one application request per applicant will be considered for funding. Maximum Investment per Unit The new maximum investment per unit for rehabilitation or refinance with rehabilitation is $50,000 and the maximum investment per unit for full replacement of either Mobile Home or Stick Built is $75,000.00. Maximum investment limits include administration, project soft costs and project hard costs that are attributable to a specific individual assisted property. HTF funded general administrative costs are not included the per unit investment limits.

On January 20, 2009, the Arizona Department of Housing (“ADOH”) published Information Bulletin No. 02‐09 for the purpose of notifying and soliciting comments from owners of LIHTC properties and their property managers of proposed guidelines for meeting the requirements of the Utility Allowance Regulation. Those proposed guidelines were more restrictive than I.R.S. regulations and were not adopted. This Information Bulletin solicits comments on revised proposed guidelines for meeting the requirements of the Utility Allowance Regulation. Persons interested in commenting on the proposed guidelines should direct their comments to Renee Suaava, Rental Compliance Administrator, by no later than January 14, 2011, at the following addresses: By email: renee.suaava@azhousing.gov By mail: Arizona Department of Housing 1110 W. Washington, Suite 310 Phoenix, AZ 85007 Attn: Rental Compliance Administrator IB No. 17‐10 1 ADOH will only consider written comments delivered or postmarked by the deadline date. After the comment period ADOH will issue its final Utility Allowance Guidelines in another Information Bulletin in February 2011. The utility allowance applies to utility charges included in the gross rent of a rent‐restricted unit. The utility allowance must be included in the maximum LIHTC rent amount. Costs of services such as telephone, TV‐ cable, and Internet that are discretionary and separately contracted for by the tenant are not included in the utility allowance. Utility costs paid by a tenant based on actual consumption in a sub‐metered rent‐restricted unit are treated as paid directly by the tenant for purposes of calculating maximum LIHTC rents. See I.R.S. Notice 2009‐44. Otherwise, charges for utility services that are not discretionary with the tenant must be included in the utility allowance. The Utility Allowance Regulation specifically provides for markets served by deregulated utility service providers. See Treas. Reg. 1.42‐10 (b)(4)(ii)(B). Generally, the Utility Allowance Regulation establishes methods for determining the utility allowances chargeable to tenants of LIHTC rent‐restricted units. The utility allowances for rent‐restricted units subject to certain U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Authority (“RD”) or U.S. Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) programs (including Section 8) are determined in accordance with the respective program requirements. See Treas. Reg. 1.42‐10(b). For other rent‐restricted LIHTC units, the Utility Allowance Regulation establishes five methods for determining the utility allowance chargeable to LIHTC tenants as part of the maximum rent amount: the public housing authority (“PHA”) utility allowance; the local utility company estimate; the state agency estimate; the HUD Utility Schedule Model; and the Energy Consumption Model. The guidelines proposed in this Information Bulletin notify owners and property managers of the procedures ADOH intends to use to verify compliance with the current requirements for determining the utility allowance for LIHTC properties other than those subject to the RD and HUD programs described in Treas. Reg. 1.42‐ 10(b). IB No. 17‐10 2 PROPOSED GUIDELINES ¶1 To maintain compliance with program requirements, LIHTC properties must demonstrate that the utility allowance charged for a rent‐restricted unit complies with one of the methods described in the Utility Allowance Regulation. In the event that ADOH determines that the utility allowance does not comply with the Utility Allowance Regulation, including but not limited to tenant notification and deadline requirements, ADOH will issue a Form 8823 reporting to the I.R.S. that the unit does not qualify as a “rent‐restricted unit” as required by the LIHTC Program. ¶2 Although the Utility Allowance Regulation allows it to do so, due to budget constraints ADOH does not prepare an “agency estimate” described by Treas. Reg. 1.42‐10(b)((ii)(4)(C). ¶3 Utility allowances determined by the local PHA shall be the utility allowances for rent‐restricted units as long as the owner has not obtained a utility allowance estimate based on one of the remaining methods: the utility company estimate, or an estimate based on the HUD Utility Schedule Model, or an estimate of based on the Energy Consumption Model. The costs of any of these methods are the responsibility of the Owner or other interested proponent. These methods are only available for buildings that have completed the entire first year of the credit period. ¶4 Owners that obtain a utility company estimate, the HUD Utility Schedule Model estimate, or the Energy Consumption Model estimate must provide a copy of the relevant estimate to ADOH and make the estimate available to tenants. In addition, the owner’s submittal to ADOH must include a narrative description of the date and manner of that the estimate is made available to tenants. The narrative description must be signed by a person with authority to bind the owner. Owners must keep the original estimate and evidence of dissemination of the estimate in its files located at the LIHTC property. ¶5 It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the utility allowance is determined and charged to tenants in accordance with the LIHTC Program. Submittal of a utility allowance estimate to ADOH shall not be understood as approval or other recommendation by ADOH that an estimate complies with the requirements of the LIHTC Program. ¶6 The utility allowance obtained by the owner shall be the utility allowance charged to tenants of rent‐restricted units. However, the utility allowance shall not be effective until 90 days after the estimate is provided to ADOH and made available to the tenants. ¶7 The information used in any estimate must comply with the aging requirements of the Utility Allowance Regulation. ¶8 For utility allowances based on the HUD Utility Schedule Model, ADOH does not review the estimate for accuracy or whether the use of the HUD Utility Schedule is correct. Nevertheless, the accuracy and appropriate use of the HUD Utility Schedule is the responsibility of the owner. Based on its review of annual reports or on‐site monitoring of a property, ADOH may issue I.R.S. Form 8823 if it concludes that a unit is not rent‐restricted due to errors or misuse of the HUD Utility Schedule Model. ADOH will consider a certification of a licensed professional engineer or a qualified professional energy rater or auditor that the HUD Utility Schedule Model estimate is true and correct. IB No. 17‐10 3 ¶9 The Energy Consumption Model may be used by a building owner to calculate utility allowance estimates based on an analysis of energy, water and sewage consumption. The Energy Consumption Model must, at a minimum, take into account specific factors including, but not limited to, unit size, building orientation, design and materials, building age, mechanical systems, appliances, and characteristics of the building location. ¶10 Utility allowances based on the Energy Consumption Model shall be prepared by a professional engineer licensed to practice in Arizona or some other qualified professional. ADOH considers energy raters and auditors who are certified and currently in good standing with Residential Energy Services Network (“RESNET”) to be “qualified professionals” for the purposes of the Utility Allowance Regulation. Owners using professionals who are not RESNET‐certified raters or auditors must demonstrate to the satisfaction of ADOH that the professional otherwise meets RESNET qualifications. Furthermore, the professional engineer or energy rater or auditor must not be related to the building owner, property manager or any other entities owned or controlled by these parties within the meaning of Sections 267(b) or 707(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition to the materials described in ¶4, above, Owners who obtain estimates based on the Energy Consumption Model shall provide ADOH with documentary evidence that the estimate was prepared by a licensed professional engineer or other qualified professional consistent with the requirements of this paragraph. See, ¶ 12, below. ¶11 ADOH will not provide formal approval of any particular utility plan submitted, but will issue a letter verifying receipt of the estimate. If ADOH has concerns about the estimate it may request additional information. Reasons for concern would be the adequacy of documentation of the qualifications of the professional who completed the estimate, or of the availability of the estimate to tenants. Future compliance monitoring will include whether the utility allowances are charged in accordance with an estimate authorized by the Utility Allowance Regulation, the timing of implementation of the new utility allowance after the estimate was obtained, review of tenant notifications regarding the utility allowance, and documentation of annual review and updates, if any, to the allowance. ¶12 Documentation of the qualifications of the professional rater for the purposes of the Energy Consumption should include the following: a) For a professional engineer licensed to practice in Arizona: 1) The estimate should bear a professional stamp demonstrating licensure as a professional engineer by the State of Arizona; or 2) Estimates bearing the professional stamp of an engineer licensed in a state other than Arizona must be accompanied by supporting documentation demonstrating that the engineer is authorized to practice in Arizona. b) For an energy rater or auditor: 1) Documentation of current status as a RESNET rater‐member; or 2) Documentation that the energy rater or auditor meets all of the following RESNET qualifications: i. IB No. 17‐10 Completed training that is similar in all material respects to the RESNET training syllabus; 4 ii. Successful completion of the RESNET National Rater Test; iii. Performance of at least three energy ratings under the supervision of a person with three or more years of experience as a certified rater. (Supporting documentation must include the names and addresses and contact information of the persons for whom the energy ratings were performed and the personal resume of each supervising rater). ¶13 Once a particular method (utility company estimate, HUD Utility Schedule Model, or Energy Consumption Model) applies to a unit, the owner may not change to a different methodology for the duration of the Extended Use Period. The same method must be used for all utility services included in the utility allowances for all units of a LIHTC project. Regardless of the method adopted, the owner must review at least once during each calendar year the basis on which utility allowances have been established and must update the applicable utility allowance in accordance with Treas. Reg. 1.42-10(c)(1). The review must take into account any changes to the building such as any energy conservation measures that affect energy consumption and changes in utility rates. ¶14 Utility allowances determined in accordance with revised Treas. Reg. 1.42‐10 may be effective on or after January 1, 2009. Arizona Department of Housing 1110 W.

Citizen Participation and Public Comment 1. Briefly describe how the grantee followed its citizen participation plan regarding this proposed substantial amendment (limit 250 words). Response: A copy of the Amendment of the Draft Amendment to the HPRP Substantial Amendment will be posted on the Arizona Department of Housing (ADOH) website www.azhousing.gov on December 13, 2010. The draft is available for public comment and review until January 12, 2011. A copy of the original HPRP Substantial Draft Amendment was posted on the Arizona Department of Housing (ADOH) website www.azhousing.gov on April 22nd 2009. The draft was available for public comment and review until May 4th, 2009. 2. Provide the appropriate response regarding this substantial amendment by checking one of the following options: TBD Grantee did not receive public comments. Grantee received and accepted all public comments. Grantee received public comments and did not accept one or more of the comments. 3. Provide a summary of the public comments regarding this substantial amendment. Include a summary of any comments or views not accepted and the reasons for nonacceptance. Response: To Be Determined Once Comments Received C. Distribution and Administration of Funds Reminder: The HPRP grant will be made by means of a grant agreement executed by HUD and the grantee. The three-year deadline to expend funds begins when HUD signs the grant agreement. Grantees should ensure that sufficient planning is in place to begin to expend funds shortly after grant agreement. 1. Check the process(es) that the grantee plans to use to select subgrantees. Note that a subgrantee is defined as the organization to which the grantee provides HPRP funds. Competitive Process Formula Allocation Other (Specify: HUD Recovery Act Expenditure Requirements) 3 HUD-40119 Amendment to the Substantial Amendment to the Consolidated Plan/2008 Action Plan for the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) 2. Briefly describe the process(es) indicated in question 1 above (limit 250 words). Response: ADOH used a formula-based allocation that breaks funding down by County for the nonentitlement parts of the State; the formula is based on Population, Poverty, Unemployment and Homelessness numbers. The original plan was focused on the 13 rural non-entitlement counties. The Recovery Act requires grantees to expend 60 percent of HPRP grant funds within two years of the date that funds became available. Failure to meet the expenditure requirement would cause HUD to recapture the remaining funding for the program in mid-September 2011. A review of program expenditures to date has shown that the HPRP program is not on track to expend 60% of the funds within the two-year period. ADOH has re-allocated approximately 7.5% of the funds among rural subgrantees but has determined that an additional re-allocation of funds will be necessary to meet the 60% expenditure requirement by September 2011. Therefore, ADOH will allocate funds to the highest-performing HPRP grantee(s) within Maricopa and Pima Counties as necessary. 3. Briefly describe the process the grantee plans to use, once HUD signs the grant agreement, to allocate funds available to subgrantees by September 30, 2009, as required by the HPRP Notice (limit 250 words). Response: The Arizona Department of Housing is using a subrecipient Funding Agreement with established agencies already providing HPRP program assistance and services. 4. Describe the grantee’s plan for ensuring the effective and timely use of HPRP grant funds on eligible activities, as outlined in the HPRP Notice. Include a description of how the grantee plans to oversee and monitor the administration and use of its own HPRP funds, as well as those used by its subgrantees (limit 500 words). Response: The HPRP program will utilize the existing infrastructure that already is in place allowing flexibility within the local rural continua to address the types of eligible activities that are most needed for that area. ADOH as grantee will monitor monthly expenditures through desk review and approval of monthly expenditures on an ADOH payment request form. Reports will be generated monthly comparing assistance totals from HMIS to the monthly payment request form received from the subgrantees assuring all entries are accounted for in HMIS. Monthly review of subgrantees and overall HPRP expenditures will ensure funds are being used in a timely manner. Re-allocation of funds will be used as a tool, when necessary, to ensure effective and timely use of funds. The grantee will also provide technical assistance to subgrantees. Monitoring will be accomplished through desk reviews and on-site visits. Monitoring visits include review of client files for proper documentation for all eligible services received as well as fiscal review. 4 HUD-40119 Amendment to the Substantial Amendment to the Consolidated Plan/2008 Action Plan for the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) Additional training as necessary for HMIS will be provided onsite with the sub-grantee. D. Collaboration 1. Briefly describe how the grantee plans to collaborate with the local agencies that can serve similar target populations, which received funds under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 from other Federal agencies, including the U.S. Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, and Labor (limit 250 words). Response: Subgrantees will provide updates about the HPRP funds at the local rural Continuum of Care meetings, updates will include numbers served and types of assistance provided. They will also discuss eligibility for services, application process, documentation needed, etc.. at the meetings. Subgrantees will also be required to work with local shelters and other service agencies as a referral source or potential case management provider. This is a very important program and subgrantees collaboration with homeless providers and other services providers will be watched closely. 2. Briefly describe how the grantee plans to collaborate with appropriate Continuum(s) of Care and mainstream resources regarding HPRP activities (limit 250 words). Response: ADOH is the chair of the Arizona Balance of State (rural) Continuum of Care; we attend the majority of the local meetings and have a very productive relationship with the providers. Use of HPRP fund will be a standing agenda item on each local continuum agenda. The ADOH Director and the Department of Economic Security (DES) Director co-chair the Arizona Commission on Homelessness and Housing, which has members from many State Agencies. DES is an important partner who provides many of the necessary mainstream services. We have and will continue to work with DES and other State partners to address barriers in accessing mainstream services. 3. Briefly describe how HPRP grant funds for financial assistance and housing relocation/stabilization services will be used in a manner that is consistent with the grantee’s Consolidated Plan (limit 250 words). Response: HPRP funds will expand the amounts of financial assistance and stabilization services that are and have been part of the consolidated plan for years. Homeless Prevention through rental assistance and other housing costs as well as proper case management services is a focus of our current EPEH program identified in the Consolidated Plan. Prevention has been especially important in rural parts of the State where there are fewer shelter resources. 5 HUD-40119 Amendment to the Substantial Amendment to the Consolidated Plan/2008 Action Plan for the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) E.
