Monroe County and City of Rochester HOME-ARP Funding
Monroe County and the City of Rochester, New York, jointly invite proposals for HOME-American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) financial assistance to establish or expand qualifying affordable rental housing, non-congregate shelters, supportive services and nonprofit capacity for people who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, fleeing domestic or sexual violence, or otherwise at greatest risk of housing instability.
Individual applicant award: No fixed per-organization or per-project award limit is published in the controlling RFP. The County’s $4.3 million and the City’s $8.98 million are separate overall allocations, not individual awards. Applications are considered as received, subject to uncommitted funds. The solicitation closes December 31, 2026 or earlier if all funds are committed or the RFP is withdrawn. The RFP does not specify a closing hour or time zone.
Who Can Apply
Incorporated nonprofit or for-profit organizations authorized to carry out eligible activities in Monroe County may apply, including housing developers, nonprofit service providers and partner organizations. Applicants must demonstrate relevant experience, adequate financial and program management, compliance with federal HOME-ARP obligations, and freedom from disqualifying County or City tax arrears or property violations. Projects must serve designated HOME-ARP qualifying populations and follow federal fair-housing, environmental, labor, conflict-of-interest and related rules.
Eligible Activities and Conditions
Eligible activities include acquisition and development of non-congregate shelters; affordable rental housing development; housing-related supportive services; nonprofit capacity building; and limited nonprofit operating assistance from County funds only. Operating costs of a non-congregate shelter and ongoing operating deficits of HOME-ARP rental housing are not eligible. Long restricted-use and compliance periods apply to housing projects. The official RFP does not state a universal mandatory matching percentage or fixed reimbursement formula; proposals must show financial feasibility, sustainability and all applicable funding sources. Nonprofit operating and capacity-building allocations each have program-level limits under the RFP.
