The purpose of the Program is to provide capital financing for emergency shelters and transitional housing facilities that provide housing and support services to households to prevent homelessness and assist households to be able to live independently. A “Harm Reduction” approach is strongly considered for supportive services. The Program provides grant funds to nonprofit organizations and local governments for new construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation of housing and for the purchase of capital equipment. Sponsors must agree to maintain the project as transitional housing or an emergency shelter for a term of 15 years. If the use is discontinued prior to 15 years, the grant is repayable. Generally, grant funds may not be used for more than one-half of total project costs. Under certain conditions grants may be for as much as 75 percent of total project costs.
