● Public meeting: December 1, 2022
Describe any efforts to broaden public participation:
Virtual presentation participants were encouraged to share the presentation with other
non-profit organizations either unaware or unable to attend.
A PJ must consider any comments or views of residents received in writing, or orally at a
public hearing, when preparing the HOME-ARP allocation plan.
Summarize the comments and recommendations received through the public
participation process:
The following comment was received by Ms. Angela York of THRIVE Peninsula:
“We are seeing a high quantity of applications for rental assistance since RRP has
ended. United Way shared in a meeting today that in the city of Newport News, 231
households have been evicted in the last 2 months according to court records. These
numbers do not include families who leave their residents before they are evicted.
When families are evicted, the consequences can be dire and can affect their safety,
mental health, and financial health. Funds are needed to provide rental assistance to
families who can otherwise stay afloat, but hit a temporary setback that they cannot
overcome alone.”
Comments and questions received during the 12-1-2022 public hearing included:
● What is identified as "Supportive Services"?
● Is the nonprofit operating cost line item directly associated with TBRA like the
nonprofit capacity building is?
● When do we expect to hear a response from HUD? At what point would a
non-profit find out if they are receiving funding?
● Since this is only one-time funds, how will funding support services be
sustainable?
● If a nonprofit desires to apply for some of the supportive services dollars, what is
the process to follow?
● It is concerning that almost $1 million will go to services and services are rarely
one-time especially since this is not directly tied to actual development of housing.
● I do like the answer to the last question - at risk is really important
● Does supportive services also include things like providing food to those who are
at risk of homelessness?
