Additional narrative, if applicable:
During the virtual public hearing held on August 10, 2022, those in attendance gave their
support for the “acquisition and development of non-congregate shelter units” to be an
eligible activity funded with HOME-ARP funds. While HOME-ARP funds are available to
initially support this activity, there is not enough funding on an ongoing basis to support
operations. Additionally, the City has established the Four Oaks (Homeless) Day Center
and continues to evaluate the establishment of an overnight shelter.
Describe how the characteristics of the shelter and housing inventory, service delivery
system, and the needs identified in the gap analysis provided a rationale for the plan to
fund eligible activities:
Eligible Activity to be Funded with HOME-ARP: Development or support of affordable
rental housing
1. The six (6) jurisdictions that comprise the Greater VA Peninsula Homelessness
Consortium (GVPHC) experienced a 30% increase in the Point in Time (PIT) count
in January 2022 vs. January 2021.
2. Rising home values have made the purchasing process more competitive and
more expensive for affordable housing providers.
3. Rising rental rates have priced out some renters from obtaining affordable
housing.
Eligible Activity to be Funded with HOME-ARP: Supportive Services
1. Increase in the number of individuals and families needing homeless related
services.
2. Increase in rental rates
3. Provide follow-up services for those in need of services
