The Washington County Board of Commissioners approved a Home ARP provider agreement with the Redevelopment Authority for housing stability funds totaling $916,709.90 to provide housing case management and financial assistance; the contract covers June 19, 2025, through June 30, 2027, with options to renew.
Human Services presented the Home ARP agreement and related housing items. The board also approved a provider agreement with SPHS Connect for emergency shelter services (not to exceed $20,000 paid with DCED funds), and a provider agreement with Catholic Charities, Diocese of Pittsburgh, for rapid rehousing services not to exceed $65,000; the Catholic Charities item carries a required 100% county match as recorded in the motion.
Separately, commissioners approved a one-month extension for a HUD rapid rehousing provider agreement addendum (extending performance to June 30, 2025) and authorized submission of an Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) application to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED).
