The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $1,028,226 HOPWA Formula Grant to the Augusta-Richmond County Government to address the housing needs of low-income individuals with HIV/AIDS and their families. The funding will be used to provide a range of eligible HOPWA activities, including tenant-based and facility-based rental assistance, transitional and short-term housing assistance, permanent housing placement, and supportive services. These efforts aim to establish stable housing, reduce the risk of homelessness, and improve access to healthcare for this vulnerable population in the Augusta metropolitan area. As a HOPWA Formula Grant, the award is contingent upon the county's submission and HUD's approval of its Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan, which must identify the specific eligible HOPWA activities to be implemented. Augusta-Richmond County Government may also distribute a portion of the funding to subrecipient organizations to carry out program activities. The grant performance period runs from February 27, 2025 to February 26, 2028.
