The Consultation Process
Before developing its plan, a PJ must consult with the CoC(s) serving the jurisdiction’s
geographic area, homeless and domestic violence service providers, veterans’ groups,
public housing agencies (PHAs), public agencies that address the needs of the qualifying
populations, and public or private organizations that address fair housing, civil rights, and
the needs of persons with disabilities, at a minimum. State PJs are not required to
consult with every PHA or CoC within the state’s boundaries; however, local PJs must
consult with all PHAs (including statewide or regional PHAs) and CoCs serving the
jurisdiction.
Summarize the consultation process:
The City of Newport News and Newport News Redevelopment and Housing Authority
(NNRHA) met to discuss potential recipients of HOME-ARP funding. Understanding that
HOME-ARP funds had to be utilized for “qualifying populations” given the activities
deemed eligible by HUD, the overall goal was to target activities that would favorably
impact homelessness (through the creation of affordable housing) in the community. As
time has evolved, the need to support individuals with rent assistance has come to the
forefront given the increase in rent and other necessities to live.
The City of Newport News and NNRHA identified non-profit organizations whose mission
aligns with the activities deemed eligible by HUD for HOME-ARP funding. The
organizations contacted were:
1. Housing Development Corporation of Hampton Roads
2. THRIVE Peninsula
3. SE Virginia Health System
4. Link of Hampton Roads
5. Menchville House Ministries
6. Transitions Family Violence Services
7. Greater Virginia Peninsula Homelessness Consortium (CoC)
Each non-profit organization received a Google form questionnaire and was asked a
series of questions to determine how they would use funding to support the initiatives of
HOME-ARP.
