About this opportunity
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is seeking applicants for the FY 2024 Family Unification Program (FUP) Notice of Funding Opportunity. FUP provides Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) assistance to two groups: 1) Families for whom the lack of adequate housing is a primary factor in the imminent placement of their child(ren) in out-of-home care or the delay in discharging their child(ren) from out-of-home care, and 2) Youth aged 18-24 who left or will leave foster care within 90 days, are homeless or at risk of homelessness, and have a transition plan. Eligible applicants are Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) with existing HCV programs that partner with public child welfare agencies and Continuums of Care. The applications will be evaluated based on factors such as the PHA's capacity, need for the program, soundness of approach, leveraging of resources, and achieving program results. The deadline for applications is October 30, 2024.
Approximately $5,030,814 in FY 2023 and FY 2024 funds is available, with an expected 10 awards. The minimum award is 3 vouchers, and the maximum is 25-75 vouchers depending on the PHA's program size, not to exceed $1,700,000. The grant program provides rental assistance, case management, and supportive services to promote housing stability and self-sufficiency for families and youth across the United States.
Synopsis
The Family Unification Program (FUP) is a program under which public housing authorities (PHAs) that partner with public child welfare agencies (PCWAs) provide Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) assistance to two groups: 1. Families for whom the lack of adequate housing is a primary factor in the imminent placement of the family's child, or children, in out-of-home care; or the delay in the discharge of the child, or children, to the family from out-of-home care; and 2. Youth at least 18 years and not more than 24 years of age (have not reached their 25th birthday) who left foster care, or will leave foster care within 90 days, in accordance with a transition plan described in Section 475(5)(H) of the Social Security Act, and are homeless or are at risk of becoming homeless at age 16 or older. There is no time limit on FUP vouchers issued to families. As required by statute, FUP vouchers issued to youth are limited to 36 months. The Fostering Stable Housing Opportunities (FSHO) amendments (Section 103 of Division Q of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 116-260)) provides FUP youth an extension of the 36-month time limit for up to an additional 24 months if they meet certain requirements. FSHO applies to FUP youth who first leased or leases a unit after the date of enactment of FSHO, December 27, 2020, which includes youth that will be assisted with funding under this NOFO. HUD published an FSHO implementation notice in the Federal Register on January 24, 2022 (87 FR 3570).
