HAP - Recovery Act Info

Economic Recovery Dollars
at Work at HAP

Like all housing authorities, HAP received funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to use on capital projects in its public housing portfolio. The agency also received more than $2 million for a variety of efforts to prevent homelessness, which will be administered through the county-wide Short Term Rent Assistance program HAP manages on behalf of the City of Portland, Multnomah County, HAP, and the City of Gresham. Finally, HAP received operating subsidy for several of its project-based Section 8 properties.
