The purpose of this program is to address challenges that require immediate attention and/or new or expanded service provision to help U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-assisted residents affected by an urgent event. Funding will support one-time assistance for service coordination and limited direct services for residents of HUD-assisted housing. This program promotes local leadership and flexibility in addressing urgent social needs caused by unanticipated emergencies. Examples of these emergencies can include:
Natural disasters, such as wildfires, hurricanes, extreme heat, flooding, or catastrophic weather events
Public health crises, including gun violence, community-level contamination, or environmental hazards, or widespread traumatic events
Economic disruptions, such as closure of a major employment center that employs residents at the target site
Other urgent events that have had a widespread impact on the HUD-assisted community
