Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) established the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP). The program is designed to assist households at risk of homelessness and households that are literally homeless.

HPRP Grantees are required to submit quarterly performance reports (QPRs) and Annual Performance Reports (APRs) to HUD via eSnaps.   Grantees use the HMIS to aggregate and report data for the QPRs and APRs, then enter this data into eSnaps.
