Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The City of Minneapolis received a $3,050,590 Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) formula grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, effective September 25, 2025, through September 24, 2028. Under CFDA 14.241, the City implements a comprehensive housing assistance program for low-income individuals living with HIV/AIDS and their families, providing tenant-based (scattered-site) rental assistance, facility-based rental assistance on specific properties, transitional housing, and short-term housing assistance. The grant also funds supportive services including case management, healthcare coordination, program planning, and development costs designed to establish housing stability, reduce homelessness risk, and improve access to healthcare services for eligible populations.

The City distributes HOPWA funds through sub-awards to local implementation partners, including Clare Housing, a Minneapolis-based nonprofit specializing in HIV/AIDS housing services, which received sub-awards for facility supportive services programming at Clare Midtown and community-sited care housing services. The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services division received a sub-award to provide tenant-based rental assistance directly to HOPWA-eligible households. As a formula entitlement grantee, the City of Minneapolis is required to submit annual performance reports documenting grant expenditures, program accomplishments, and household outcomes related to housing stability, homelessness prevention, and access to care and support services.
