• Community Development and Neighborhood Stabilization: H.R. 1 includes $1 billion for the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) program, to be distributed to state and local governments in accordance with the existing
formula. H.R. 1 also includes $2 billion for the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), to
stabilize neighborhoods with high numbers of vacant and foreclosed-upon homes.
• Public Housing Capital Fund: H.R. 1 includes $4 billion for the Public Housing Capital Fund. Of this amount, $3 billion
will be allocated pursuant to the existing Capital Fund formula, with the remainder to be awarded through a
competition. NAHRO and its members mounted an aggressive, months-long campaign aimed at securing
Public Housing Capital Fund resources as part of the economic recovery package.
• Assistance to Owners of Projects Receiving Project-Based Assistance: H.R. 1 provides $2 billion in funding for project-based
rental assistance contract payments to owners of properties receiving project-based assistance under the Section 202,
Section 811, and Section 8 programs. NAHRO supported this provision, as these funds will help to ensure that owners
of project-based Section 8 contracts receive full funding of federal rental assistance payments on an annual basis, which
is essential to ensuring ongoing owner and investor participation in the program.
• Homelessness Prevention: H.R. 1 includes $1.5 billion for the Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) program. Funds will be allocated
pursuant to the ESG program and can be used only for homelessness prevention and certain housing stabilization
activities, including short-term or medium-term rental assistance. NAHRO expressed support for this funding.
• Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program: H.R. 1 includes $2.25 billion in HOME program funding, although this funding will
not be distributed to states and local governments through the regular HOME program formula. Instead, the funding
will be allocated to state housing credit agencies to provide gap financing assistance for Low Income Housing Tax
Credit (LIHTC) projects.
