HOME-ARP Program Overview
DeKalb County has received $7.8 million in funding under the HOME-American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) to assist residents experiencing or at risk of homelessness. This funding supports an integrated housing response that targets the County’s most vulnerable populations, including individuals and families who are homeless, fleeing unsafe conditions, or facing housing instability.
The HOME-ARP program offers eligible households access to Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) to secure safe, decent, and affordable rental housing, and Supportive Services that help clients maintain housing, increase stability, and connect with critical resources such as employment, mental health care, food access, and financial counseling.
Through partnerships with community-based organizations and coordination with the County’s Continuum of Care (CoC) and Coordinated Entry (CE) system, DeKalb County aims to reduce homelessness, prevent housing loss, and improve long-term outcomes for low-income and at-risk residents. All services must be client-centered, trauma-informed, and equitable.
This webpage guide outlines key eligibility criteria, required documentation, application steps, and the types of assistance available through the program. It ensures transparency, accessibility, and compliance with HUD regulations (CPD Notice 21-10 and 24 CFR Part 92).
