City of Philadelphia
Substantial Amendment Notice

 Substantial Amendment to the 2021 HOME-ARP Plan and 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan
Notice of Public Comment Period

The City of Philadelphia is proposing to amend the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan and the 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan. Congress appropriated American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds to be administered through HUD’s HOME program to perform four activities that must primarily benefit qualifying individuals and families who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or in other vulnerable populations. On April 8, 2021, HUD allocated a total of $42,007,561 in HOME-ARP funds to the City of Philadelphia. The City prepared a HOME-ARP Allocation Plan, which was approved by HUD. The City proposes to implement the following substantial amendments related to HOME-ARP activities:

• Revised HOME-ARP budget to increase funding for development and tenant-based rental assistance and decrease funding for supportive services, non-profit operating, and administration/planning.
• Revisions to the section: “Method for Soliciting HOME-ARP Applications”

The 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan will be amended accordingly to incorporate the revised HOME-ARP budget.

The proposed amendments, including details of the revised budget and text revisions, are available online here: HOME-ARP-Allocation-Plan-Proposed-Amendment-1.pdf. A copy may also be requested by visiting our office at 1234 Market St, 17th floor, Philadelphia PA, 19107 Monday through Friday between 9am and 5pm.

The 30-day public comment period starts today and ends on November 15^th, 2026. Public comments can be sent to saundra.malanowicz@phila.gov. If no comments are received, the City will proceed with adoption of the amendment without further notice. The public may receive a copy of the amended HOME-ARP Allocation Plan and 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan upon request.

Property owners who receive a Department of Licenses and Inspections (L&I) violation typically have five to 35 days to correct the issue.

After that period, L&I automatically conducts a follow-up inspection. However, owners who correct their violations sooner may request an earlier reinspection.

To streamline these requests, L&I Quality of Life (QOL) and Inspections, Safety and Compliance (ISC) have developed a single joint reinspection request form.

Visit the L&I Code Enforcement webpage for more information or request your L&I reinspection.
