Expanding Affordable Housing Opportunities
Salt Lake County is pleased to announce the availability of funding under the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and the County's Housing Trust Fund (HTF) to provide permanent supportive housing units for individuals with high behavioral health needs. These units are intentionally designed to meet the needs of individuals with high mental health issues and, often, co-occurring substance use disorders. In order to qualify, the project must also meet one of CDBG's national objectives.
The purpose of this project is to solicit applications from qualified developers partnered with services providers to develop and operate Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH).
The total amount available under this RFA is approximately $2,511,000.00, which will be awarded through a competitive process to qualified applicants who demonstrate capacity, experience, and a strong commitment to serving qualifying populations.
Of the total allocation:
- Approximately $1.8 million in CDBG will be dedicated to eligible housing development costs, including acquisition, rehabilitation, or site improvements.
- $711,000 in HTF will be available for eligible housing development costs as well as covering the costs of supportive services for the project.
