Proposed Substantial Amendment to the State of Tennessee’s FY 2026-27 Annual Action Plan and the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan

The State of Tennessee plans to make several substantial amendments to its FY 2026-27 Annual Action Plan (AAP) and HOME-ARP Allocation Plan.

The AAP details how the State of Tennessee plans to use federal funding for its Consolidated Planning programs. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has already reviewed and approved the State’s FY 2026-27 AAP. The amendment to the FY 2026-27 AAP would allow HOME Rental Development funding to be awarded to subgrantees in the form of a low-interest loan to support the construction of rental units for projects that also have received Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) funding. (This amendment does not prevent organizations from applying for HOME Rental Development funding as a grant, so long as the HOME grant is not combined with LIHTC funding.)

The HOME-ARP Program was created to assist people experiencing homelessness, those at risk of experiencing it, and several other qualifying populations with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The first amendment to the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan would reallocate a total of $12,450,512.45 from Non-Profit Operating, Non-Profit Capacity Building, Rental Development, and Administration and Planning activities to Supportive Services activities. The second substantial amendment would allow organizations awarded HOME-ARP funding to “prefer” (or use funding preferentially for) Qualifying Population 3 (QP3), people who are fleeing, or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking. (The second amendment does not prevent organizations serving other QPs from applying for or being awarded funding.)
