The letter calls on the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to release the overdue Notice of Funding Opportunity for the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program and expedite renewal awards. Organizations across the country, including in New Hampshire, rely on these grants to provide critical housing and health care services. Many competitive HOPWA awards were set to expire on Sep 30, 2026, but at the time of the letter, HUD had not released the funding notice or provided grantees information about renewing their awards. “We write to express our grave concerns regarding the delayed Fiscal Year 2026 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program. For many organizations in our communities, this program is vital to ensuring individuals with HIV/AIDS have access to safe and stable housing. We urge you to release the NOFO immediately and expedite the awards so communities can continue to provide support and housing to those who need it,” the lawmakers wrote . They continued: “Unfortunately, many competitive HOPWA awards will expire tomorrow on September 30, 2026. Your department still has not released a NOFO, and grantees have received no information regarding the renewal of their awards. HOPWA is the only Federal program dedicated to the housing needs of people living with HIV/AIDS, making any gap in funding detrimental for the organizations providing support and the individuals and communities that depend on this program.” “We understand that the awarding process takes careful review, but because these applicants are all seeking renewals, they have already been vetted and approved by your department. We urge you to expedite this process immediately and release awards as soon as possible. Without these critical funds, individuals with HIV/AIDS will face the risk of homelessness,” the lawmakers concluded .
