Under the rural set-aside provisions, the award may also fund up to six months of rent or utility arrears, short-term emergency lodging in motels or shelters, housing repairs up to $10,000 per structure, emergency food and clothing assistance, and capacity building activities. The City of Tucson, a comprehensive municipal authority headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, serves as the prime recipient.
