NORFOLK, Va. – The City of Norfolk is launching a third round of Notice of Funding Availability (NoFA) for housing developers and area nonprofits to develop housing or provide services to homeless and at-risk residents. A virtual information session will be held on June 14 at 2:30 p.m. The link may be accessed on the HOME-ARP page of the NDHCD website.
Through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded the City of Norfolk $4,517,686 for the HOME-ARP Program to provide housing, support, and shelter to the City’s vulnerable populations.
Eligible applicants include those who adhere to NoFA directions, submit a complete application, and demonstrate interest and capacity to administer activities described in Norfolk’s HOME-ARP Allocation Plan. Organizations with existing funding commitments need not reapply for funds. Organizations who applied in prior rounds and do not wish to submit a different project application may be required to provide updated supplementary documentation (e.g., budget, financial statements, 990). Organizations who applied in prior rounds but wish to submit a new application for a different project may do so.
The application window is June 17 - July 1. Applications must be electronically submitted and received by Norfolk Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) through the City’s GRANT SOLICITATION PORTAL by 11:59 p.m. on July 1.
Norfolk’s HOME-ARP Allocation Plan was approved by U.S. Housing and Urban Development in April 2023.
