The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $151,114 Formula Grant under the Emergency Solutions Grant (CFDA 14.231) program to the Iowa Finance Authority on January 14, 2025. This funding is intended to support the Rapid Unsheltered Survivor Housing (RUSH) program, which aims to address gaps in federal disaster assistance for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
The RUSH program provides assistance for individuals living in emergency shelters, transitional housing, or unsheltered locations, as well as those at risk of homelessness due to factors like severe overcrowding or impending eviction. Eligible activities include emergency shelter, rapid re-housing, homelessness prevention, and outreach assistance. Through sub-awards to partners like nonprofit housing providers and local governments, the Iowa Finance Authority will use this funding to deliver services such as rental assistance, move-in cost support, and stabilizing services to help the target populations secure stable housing. The program is designed to prevent long-term homelessness and provide housing solutions for people impacted by natural disasters in the state.
