HOPWA Formula Grant Award Summary

The Delaware State Housing Authority received a $410,445 formula grant awarded January 8, 2026, under the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program (CFDA 14.241), administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. This three-year award, with performance through January 7, 2029, funds comprehensive housing and supportive services for low-income individuals living with HIV/AIDS and their families throughout Delaware. The grant supports multiple eligible activities including tenant-based and facility-based rental assistance, transitional and short-term housing assistance, case management, healthcare coordination, and program planning services designed to establish stable housing, reduce homelessness risk, and improve access to care.

As the state's primary housing authority, DSHA administers HOPWA funding through its Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan, with sub-awards to partner organizations including Delaware HIV Services Inc. The authority is required to maintain detailed financial records, submit annual performance reports documenting expenditures and household outcomes related to housing stability and homelessness prevention, and comply with applicable Code of Federal Regulations requirements at 24 CFR 574 and 24 CFR 91. This award represents a critical component of Delaware's comprehensive approach to addressing housing and service needs for persons living with HIV/AIDS.
