Arlington, VA - Arlington County has been awarded $363,600 to prevent households from becoming homeless and to quickly re-house and stabilize those who are homeless by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

This two-year competitive grant supplements a previous federal stimulus award of $728,300 by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Homelessness Prevention

The goals of Arlington's Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) are to help families stay in their homes, connect them to resources and benefits, and help them develop a housing stability plan. This grant will enable Arlington County to offer financial aid to about 50 households and case management and outreach to another 90 households.

Stimulus funding

Arlington County has been notified of $19.5 million of federal funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) that will benefit projects in Arlington. The amount includes funding for infrastructure, transportation, environmental sustainability, law enforcement and Arlington's social safety net.
