The Cumberland County Housing and Redevelopment Authorities (CCHRA) and the Borough of Carlisle are partnering to complete the Borough’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan and Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). The Plan and its accompanying Annual Action Plan will help assess the Borough’s community facilities, affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions, and to make data-driven, place-based investment decisions. The consolidated planning process, which is underway now, serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to identify housing and community development priorities that align and focus funding from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development’s grant programs. An online survey has been created to collect valuable input from citizens, businesses, and housing service providers. Take the survey here: https://lnkd.in/e3DC9-3Z

Safe, affordable housing and economic stability are paramount for survivors of domestic violence to build lives free from abuse. PCADV is committed to supporting our member programs in developing new innovative housing initiatives and ensuring that current housing options work for survivors. To continue this work, PCADV is requesting an Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) to support emergency shelter for domestic violence survivors across the commonwealth. https://lnkd.in/ei_bXxAM

How does eligibility for housing vouchers work? Eligibility for a housing voucher is determined by CCHRA based on the total annual gross income and family size and is limited to US citizens and specified categories of non-citizens who have eligible immigration status. In general, the family’s income may not exceed 50% of the median income for the county or metropolitan area in which the family chooses to live. By law, a PHA must provide 75% of its voucher to applicants whose incomes do not exceed 30 percent of the area median income.

The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program is currently accepting applications for the 2024 grant year. This program is to assist organizations in helping the homeless regain stability in permanent housing. For more information on applying, email Brianna Miller at bmiller@cchra.com by August 2nd, 2024.
