The Department of Housing and Community Development has released the 2010 Program Year Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the Housing Related Parks (HRP) Program. The program provides grant funding for parks and recreation projects to cities and counties with documented housing starts for newly constructed units that are affordable to very low or low-income households. The HRP Program is an innovative program designed to increase the overall supply of housing affordable to lower income households by providing financial incentives to jurisdictions that are in compliance with the State Housing Element Law. Applications for the 2010 HRP Program year will be released in December 2010.
