24 C.F.R. § 574.100
§ 574.100 Eligible applicants. (24 CFR Part 574)
Operative Text
(a) Eligible States and qualifying cities, as defined in § 574.3, qualify for formula allocations under HOPWA. (b) HUD will notify eligible States and qualifying cities of their formula eligibility and allocation amounts and EMSA service areas annually.
Under 24 CFR Part 574 § 574.100, the HOPWA (Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS) program limits formula-based funding allocations to eligible States and qualifying cities as those terms are defined elsewhere in the regulation. HUD is responsible for notifying these entities each year of whether they qualify, how much funding they are allocated, and which Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Areas (EMSAs) fall within their service boundaries. This provision establishes both who can receive formula funds and the annual communication process HUD uses to convey that information.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Because 24 CFR Part 574 § 574.100 directs HOPWA formula funds to eligible States and qualifying cities rather than to individual property owners, operators who work with HOPWA-assisted housing programs generally coordinate with the designated grantee — the State or qualifying city — rather than applying directly to HUD for formula allocations. Compliant operators typically stay informed about the EMSA service areas announced annually by HUD, since those boundaries can affect where HOPWA-assisted tenants may be served. Understanding the grantee structure established by § 574.100 helps operators know which governmental entity administers the funds they may interact with.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 574.100 of 24 CFR Part 574 establishes that HOPWA formula funding flows to eligible States and qualifying cities, which then administer housing assistance for persons with HIV/AIDS in their designated service areas. If you believe you may qualify for HOPWA-assisted housing, the starting point is generally identifying the State or qualifying city grantee that covers your area, since those entities receive and distribute the formula funds described in this provision. Tenant-rights organizations and local HIV/AIDS service agencies can help identify the appropriate grantee and explain what housing assistance options may be available under the program.
