Formula Grant MDH25F999

The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development received a $2.49 million Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) formula grant (CFDA 14.241) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded January 9, 2026, with a three-year performance period extending through January 8, 2029. This formula allocation supports Maryland's delivery of housing assistance, supportive services, program planning, and development activities to serve low-income individuals living with HIV/AIDS and their families throughout the state.

The grant funding enables Maryland DHCD to provide multiple forms of housing assistance, including permanent supportive housing through tenant-based (scattered-site) and facility-based rental assistance programs, as well as transitional and short-term housing assistance. Complementary supportive services such as case management and healthcare coordination are funded to help achieve program outcomes centered on housing stability, homelessness prevention, and improved access to care and support services. As a state-level grantee, Maryland DHCD administers and sub-awards portions of these resources to local governments, housing authorities, and nonprofit organizations throughout Maryland to implement eligible HOPWA activities identified in the state's Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan, with required annual performance reporting on expenditures, activities, accomplishments, and household outcomes to HUD.
