The City of Burlington Community & Economic Development Office (CEDO) seeks proposals from non-profit affordable housing agencies for funding the development of new affordable housing projects located in Burlington, Vermont and containing permanent housing for homeless individuals in accordance with the City’s HOME-ARP Allocation Plan approved by U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) on January 24, 2023.
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan (ARP), of which the City of Burlington received $1,500,494 to support the homeless via the Home Investment Partnership (HOME) program through HUD. HOME-ARP allocations were made on September 20, 2021. HUD published CPD Notice 21-10 on September 13, 2021, outlining the process that the City is required to follow in order to receive and spend HOME-ARP funds. The notice also outlines the process through which the City needs to allocate funds, known as the Allocation Plan. The City’s Allocation Plan was approved by HUD on January 24, 2023. The City seeks to award its HOME-ARP funds to eligible projects as soon as possible per the criteria in the attached RFP.
