Formula Grant NJH25F002

The City of Jersey City was awarded $2,530,752 in formula grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program (CFDA 14.241) on January 9, 2026, with a three-year performance period extending through January 8, 2029. The HOPWA program provides federal resources to address the housing and supportive service needs of low-income individuals living with HIV/AIDS and their families in eligible jurisdictions. Jersey City qualifies as an eligible metropolitan statistical area grantee based on population and HIV/AIDS case thresholds established by HUD.

Through this formula award, Jersey City will implement eligible HOPWA activities including housing assistance in the form of tenant-based rental assistance, facility-based rental assistance, transitional housing, and short-term housing assistance, along with supportive services such as case management and healthcare coordination. The city must identify and execute specific activities outlined in its HUD-approved Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. Expected outcomes focus on establishing stable housing, reducing homelessness risk, and improving access to healthcare and supportive services. Jersey City is required to submit annual performance reports documenting grant expenditures, activities undertaken, program accomplishments, and household outcomes related to housing stability, homelessness prevention, and access to care and support, in compliance with applicable Code of Federal Regulations provisions and HUD recordkeeping requirements.
