As a lead technical assistance provider for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) program, TAC helps providers and policymakers successfully navigate the effects of the Housing Opportunity through Modernization Act (HOTMA) on their own systems. HOTMA changed the formula governing the distribution of funds in order to better accommodate “people living with HIV” particularly in rural areas, among other provisions. In 2020–21, TAC partnered with Collaborative Solutions and the Cloudburst Group to develop a series of factsheets showing how HOPWA formula grantees could adjust accordingly for HOTMA.
The series of 10 HOPWA Formula Modernization Factsheets can now be viewed on the HUD Exchange.
