The Baltimore City Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), the Mayor’s Office of Homeless Services (MOHS), and the Mayor’s Office of Recovery Programs (MORP) are announcing a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) beginning September 6, 2023. This is an investment of nearly $30 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds - $15.2 million from the City’s American Rescue Plan Act State and Local Recovery funds (SLFRF) and $14.7 million from the Home Investment Partnerships Program American Rescue Plan Act (HOME-ARP) funds for the creation of permanent supportive housing.

The NOFA proposes maximum awards for the construction of affordable housing of up to $250,000 per unit for permanent supportive housing and up to $100,000 per unit for traditional affordable housing.
