Overview
In consultation with recipients of the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program funds within the geographic area, establish and operate either a centralized or coordinated assessment system that provides an initial, comprehensive assessment of the needs of individuals and families for housing and services. The Continuum of Care (CoC) must develop a specific policy to guide the operation of the centralized or coordinated assessment system on how its system will address the needs of individuals and families who are fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, but who are seeking shelter or services from non-Victim Service Providers (VSPs). This system must comply with any requirements established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by Notice.
HOME-ARP PSH Time-Based Waitlists
Please read the information below carefully.
Thank you for your interest in leasing a Kentucky Balance of State Continuum of Care (KY BoS CoC) HOME-American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) unit. Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) funded four rental housing developments that provide new permanent supportive housing units. KHC is partnering with the KY BoS CoC, which oversees the local HUD CoC for people experiencing homelessness, to refer HOME-ARP-eligible individuals and families for available HOME-ARP PSH units.
Qualifying Populations and Referral Process
In order to be eligible for the HOME-ARP PSH program, an individual or family must meet the criteria of one of four eligibility categories:
- Living outside or another place not meant for regular human habitation (e.g., car or tent), in an emergency shelter, or in a transitional housing project intended for people experiencing homelessness.
- At-risk of having to live on the street or in an emergency shelter.
- Fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking.
- Other populations as established in Notice CPD-21-10.
The definition of each of the categories listed above can be found in Section IV. A. of HUD
Notice CPD-21-10 Requirements for the Use of Funds in the HOME-American Rescue Plan Program.
The Kentucky Housing Corporation HOME-ARP Allocation Plan (as amended) states "households that spend more than 30% of their income and live in substandard housing are considered to be unstably housed and at risk of homelessness." Substandard housing is defined at
24 CFR § 5.425.
KHC can only make referrals for the HOME ARP PSH program through the KY BoS CoC
Each HOME-ARP PSH development will accept direct referrals through the KY BoS CoC's Coordinated Entry System (CES), which prioritizes people in Category 1 above.
If the KY BoS CoC cannot fill the HOME-ARP PSH units from those that are eligible under Category 1, the KY BoS CoC will make referrals for those that meet the other HOME-ARP eligible categories from this list. Referrals will be made in the order in which the households applied to be included on the HOME-ARP PSH Time-Based Waitlist and will not be based on population preferences. If referred to a PSH unit from the HOME-ARP PSH Time-Based Waitlist, households must provide documentation of their eligibility for HOME-ARP Qualifying Population Categories 2, 3, or 4.
Apply to be added to the KHC HOME- ARP PSH Time-Based Waitlists
KHC HOME-ARP PSH Time-Based Waitlists will be established for each PSH development when it is ready to accept referrals.
KHC is currently accepting HOME-ARP PSH Time-Based Waitlist applications for Sutton's Landing, 43 Frontier Drive, Maysville, KY.

Please Note: It is anticipated that referrals for persons/Households eligible in HOME-ARP Qualifying Population Category 1 will fill all available HOME-ARP PSH units. Referrals from the HOME-ARP PSH time-based waitlist are unlikely to occur.
