Dear County Executive Serino:
In 2021, the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD or the Department)
Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) allocated $5 billion appropriated by the
American Rescue Plan Act (ARP) of 2021 to HOME Investment Partnerships Program participating
jurisdictions. These funds, known as "HOME-ARP," are intended to give you the financial tools to
assist your most vulnerable citizens by providing housing, shelter, tenant-based rental assistance, and
supportive services for persons experiencing or at risk of homelessness, fleeing or attempting to flee
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking, and other
populations at greatest risk of housing instability.
While conducting recent quality control efforts, the Department discovered an administrative
error in the allocations of the HOME-ARP funds. This error resulted in your jurisdiction inadvertently
being allocated less HOME-ARP funds than it was legally entitled to receive. Specifically, the
Department determined that your jurisdiction received $5,222.00 less in its HOME-ARP allocation
than it should have. This letter notifies you of the corrected amount of your HOME-ARP award.
Original HOME-ARP
Award
Additional Allocation
Amount
Revised HOME-ARP
Award
$3,478,489.00
$5,222.00
$3,483,711.00
Attached is an amended HOME-ARP grant agreement for your agency's signature, indicating
the additional amount you are entitled to and your final corrected amount. Please sign this agreement
and return it to your CPD Representative. Please note: Build America, Buy America provisions
continue to be waived for HOME-ARP.
Additionally, you must amend your HOME-ARP allocation plan to include the correct amount
of HOME-ARP funds in accordance with HUD Notice CPD-21-10 and your citizen participation plan.
Depending upon the criteria for substantial amendments established in your citizen participation plan,
you may be required to develop a substantial amendment to the HOME-ARP allocation plan.

The requirements for substantial amendments can be found in section V.C.6 of HUD Notice
CPD-21-10. The Department can assist you in determining what may be required to be included in a
substantial amendment.
The Department regrets this error and apologizes for any inconvenience it may cause.
We are working hard to make this process as seamless as possible for all affected recipients. If you or
your staff wish to discuss this correction or have any questions about HOME-ARP, please contact your
local HUD Field Office or HUD's Office of Affordable Housing Programs at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Claudette Fernandez
General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Community Planning and Development
