MHC uses an annual Allocation Plan to indicate how it will distribute HTF resources based on the priority housing needs identified in the State’s Consolidated Plan (Con Plan). Mississippi’s HTF Allocation Plan is a component of the State’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan. The Plan identifies the State’s housing priority needs as meeting the needs of low-income rental and owner households through homeownership opportunities, homeowner rehabilitation, and rental development/substantial rehabilitation.
The State prioritized homelessness in the HTF portion of the State’s Consolidated Plan and will use HTF to support strategies to end chronic homelessness and identify special needs groups in Mississippi. These groups include persons with HIV/AIDs and their families; persons with mental illness; persons with disabilities as defined by the Americans Disabilities Act.
Mississippi Home Corporation will make every effort to balance statutory priorities and preferences and ensure a geographic distribution of funds as defined by the State’s Consolidated Plan and/or low and high-opportunity areas.
