These activities aim to establish stable housing, reduce homelessness risk, and improve access to healthcare for this vulnerable population. The grant has an expected completion date of January 23, 2028. While the specific sub-recipient activities are unknown at the time of award, the Mississippi Home Corporation may collaborate with local organizations to expand the reach and impact of the HOPWA program across the state.
