The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded the Ohio Department of Development (ODSA) a $2,966,458 Formula Grant under the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program (CFDA 14.241) on October 16, 2024. The HOPWA program provides grants to address the housing needs of low-income individuals living with HIV/AIDS and their families.
Under this award, the ODSA will administer HOPWA funds to support a range of eligible activities, including tenant-based and facility-based rental assistance, transitional and short-term housing, permanent housing placement, case management, and related supportive services. The grant funding is intended to help establish stable housing, reduce homelessness risk, and improve access to healthcare for this vulnerable population. The ODSA will further sub-award portions of the HOPWA funding to local organizations, such as Equitas Health Inc. and Community Aids Network Akron Pride Initiative, to implement these housing and supportive services at the community level.
