Re: Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re- Housing Program
Grant Number: S09MY190005
Dear Mayor Buol:
I am writing this letter to remind the City of Dubuque that it must expend 100 percent of its
$502,294 Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re- Housing Program (HPRP) award by
July 14, 2012 —the grant expiration date. It is critical that the City spend an average of $5,914 per
month to meet this requirement. All unspent funds will be recaptured and returned to the
U.S. Treasury.
If the City intends to end its HPRP program before all funds are expended and drawn down
from IDIS, please contact your HUD field office or Caroline Fernandez.
The City may request technical assistance to resolve any challenges preventing it from
meeting expenditure requirements by submitting a request via the HPRP Virtual Help Desk on
HUD's Homelessness Resource Exchange, at www.hudhre.info/hprp.
Should the City have questions regarding this letter or would like to discuss strategies to
increase program spending, it may contact Caroline Fernandez at (202) 402 -6106 or
Caroline.B.Fernandez@hud.gov.
HUD appreciates the City of Dubuque's continued efforts to expend HPRP funds in an
efficient and timely manner.
Sincerely,
Mercedes Marquez
Assistant Secretary
