HUD's Additional HPRP Eligibility Criteria Suggestions

Funding can be used to serve individuals or families and those that are homeless or at-risk of homelessness. HUD strongly encourages grantees and subgrantees to target prevention to those who would be homeless "but for this assistance." In the Notice, HUD includes the following criteria that it hopes communities will use to determine if someone is at risk:

· Eviction within 2 weeks from a private dwelling (including housing provided by family or friends—already in practice here in CT)
· Discharge within 2 weeks from an institution in which the person has been a resident for more than 180 days (including prisons, mental health institutions, and hospitals)
· Residency in housing that has been condemned by housing officials and is no longer meant for human habitation
· Sudden and significant loss of income
· Sudden and significant increase in utility costs
· Mental health and substance abuse issues
· Physical disabilities and other chronic health issues, including HIV/AIDS
· Severe housing cost burden (greater than 50 percent of income for housing costs)
· Homeless in last 12 months
· Young head of household (under 25 with children or pregnant)
· Current or past involvement with child welfare, including foster care
· Extremely low income (less than 30 percent of Area Median Income)
· High overcrowding (the number of persons exceeds health and/or safety standards for the housing unit size)
· Past institutional care (prison, treatment facility, hospital)
· Recent traumatic life event, such as death of a spouse or primary care provider, or recent health crisis that prevented the household from meeting its financial responsibilities
· Credit problems that preclude obtaining of housing
· Significant amount of medical debt.
