ATTN: Public Comment on Draft 2026 AAP

Greenville, SC 29601
The AAP is Greenville County’s application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds for the upcoming year. CDBG funds assist low- and moderate-income persons, prevent, or eliminate slums and blight, or meet a particularly urgent community need where no other funding is available. HOME funds are used to increase the supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for lower-income persons. ESG funds are used for street outreach to homeless persons, emergency shelter maintenance and repair, homelessness prevention, rapid rehousing, and data collection. Program Income comes from CDBG and HOME funded projects, mortgages and property sales, and rental income. HUD has not released FY2026 Allocations at the time of this notice. Best estimates for funding are FY2026 amounts which are: $2,931,475 in CDBG, $345,291 in CDBG program income, $1,090,409 in HOME, $850,105 in HOME program income, $250,411 ESG funds and $649,966 in Mortgage Loan Fund. All proposed activities budgets will be proportionately increased or decreased from the estimated funding levels to match actual allocation amounts.
Upon request, GCRA can provide auxiliary aids or translation services for the public hearing. Please submit reasonable accommodation requests by Monday, April 13, 2026, to ph@gcra-sc.org or by phone to 864-242-9801.
