Synopsis

The Family Unification Program (FUP) is a program under which public housing authorities (PHAs) that partner with public child welfare agencies (PCWAs) provide Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) assistance to two groups: 1. Families for whom the lack of adequate housing is a primary factor in the imminent placement of the family’s child, or children, in out-of-home care; or the delay in the discharge of the child, or children, to the family from out-of-home care; and 2. Youth at least 18 years and not more than 24 years of age (have not reached their 25th birthday) who left foster care, or will leave foster care within 90 days, in accordance with a transition plan described in Section 475(5)(H) of the Social Security Act, and are homeless or are at risk of becoming homeless at age 16 or older. There is no time limit on FUP vouchers issued to families. As required by statute, FUP vouchers issued to youth are limited to 36 months. The Fostering Stable Housing Opportunities (FSHO) amendments (Section 103 of Division Q of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 116-260)) provides FUP youth an extension of the 36-month time limit for up to an additional 24 months if they meet certain requirements. FSHO applies to FUP youth who first leased or leases a unit after the date of enactment of FSHO, December 27, 2020, which includes youth that will be assisted with funding under this NOFO. HUD published an FSHO implementation notice in the Federal Register on January 24, 2022 (87 FR 3570).

Who can apply

Eligible ApplicantsOnly PHAs that have an existing Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) with HUD for the HCV program are eligible to apply for funding under this announcement.PHAs wishing to share the administration of the program with another PHA may apply jointly; however, the Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) will be solely with the lead PHA applicant and all reporting must be submitted by the lead PHA applicant. The maximum number of vouchers will be based on the lead PHA's voucher program size or the identified need for the shared jurisdiction, if lower than the indicated cap, in accordance with Section II.C. of this NOFO. The agreement to share in the administration of the vouchers must be included in the application package. If the applicant PHA will formally partner with another PHA that will administer the vouchers on behalf of the applicant PHA (where the partner PHA is not applying for FUP vouchers), the Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) will be solely with the applicant PHA and all reporting must be submitted by the applicant PHA. The maximum number of vouchers will be based on the size of the applicant PHA’s voucher program or the applicant PHA’s identified need for such vouchers, if lower than the indicated cap. The agreement to administer the vouchers on behalf of the applicant PHA must be included in the application package. Eligible PHAs must have demonstrated a commitment to administer FUP, which shall be verified by an executed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) among the PHA(s), PCWA, and CoC that meets the requirements of Section III.F.5. of this NOFO.HUD will only consider funding one application per PHA. This one-application limit applies regardless of whether the PHA is a State or regional PHA. In instances where a PHA has more than one PHA code number due to its operating under the jurisdiction of more than one HUD Field Office, a separate application, under each code, shall be considered for funding with the cumulative total of vouchers…
