Volusia County’s Community Assistance Division is soliciting applications from nonprofit organizations to provide assistance to households with incomes 50% or less of the area median income and households with at least one adult who has special needs or is homeless.
The county has $200,000 in State Housing Initiatives Partnership program funds available. Funds will be used for a program or programs that can provide assistance with security deposits, utility deposits and monthly rental subsidies. In some cases, eviction protection assistance can be provided to those at risk of becoming homeless.
The funds will be available to applicants that meet the eligibility requirements and are selected on a competitive basis as described in the notice of funding availability packet. To receive a packet, contact Corry Brown at cabrown@volusia.org or 386-736-5955, ext. 12790.
