Alliance Releases Second HPRP Quarterly Report
Last week, the Alliance released its second Quarterly Leadership Council Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) Report, which documents the progress that 13 cities across the country are making in implementing prevention and rapid re-housing programs funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The report, which covers the quarter ending March 31, 2010, shows that over $20 million has been used to serve approximately 63,000 persons in the reporting cities. This is the first of the reports to include data on housing outcomes for people exiting the program, and it reveals that at least 74 percent of persons leaving prevention programs and 97 percent of persons leaving rapid re-housing programs are permanently housed at program exit.

After passing the House on May 28, H.R. 4213, known as the "Tax Extenders Bill," has been sent to the Senate. The legislation would provide $1 billion for the National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF), which will enable communities to build, rehabilitate, and preserve housing for extremely low and very low income households. For more information on the NHTF, click here. The legislation also includes $2.5 billion for the TANF Emergency Contingency Fund (ECF), which provides cash assistance, subsidized employment, and short-term assistance to low-income families. The TANF ECF was originally enacted under the Recovery Act and is set to expire on September 30. H.R. 4213 would extend the ECF to September 30, 2011. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid hopes to make some changes to the House's version before Senate passage.
On June 8, the Senate added an amendment to the bill that does not affect the aforementioned programs. For a link to the summary of the bill, please click here.
