Subject:                                                   SSVF Special Program Update:  Use of ARP Funding 

 

As of March 13, 2023, Grantees may use remaining ARP funds previously designated for Healthcare Navigation and Legal Services, for other program expenses. 

 

Grantees will spend FY22 funding by March 31, 2023. You will then draw down ALL SSVF expenses from your PMS account ending in HL (i.e. 20ZZ-ZZ-ZZZ-HL). This can include line items such as, TFA, personnel, Health Care Navigation, Legal Services, etc.  Grantees may also choose to utilize these funds for new expanded services such as landlord and tenant incentives. Please coordinate with your fiscal team to ensure they are aware and following this updated guidance.   

 

The ARP funds must be spent by September 30, 2023, no extensions will be granted.  FY22/ARP approved budgets will remain in place with variance explained at End of Year Closeout. Grantees will draw down FY22 and ARP funds to zero and then FY23 awards will be activated.   

 

NOTE:  The exceptions to this are Shallow Subsidy and Supplemental NOFA expenses. Grantees should continue to draw down Shallow Subsidy expenses from PMS Accounts 20ZZ-ZZ-ZZZSS. Grantees awarded funds through the Supplemental Notice of Funding Availability for Housing Navigation and Landlord and Tenant incentives, should continue to draw those expenses from the Supplemental NOFA account (20ZZ-ZZ-ZZZ-LT). 

 

Additionally, as a reminder, Legal Services and Healthcare Navigation are still requirements of your grant.  

 

If you have any questions, please contact your Regional Coordinator. 

 

Sincerely,

SSVF Program Office
