FY 2022 Family Unification Program (FUP)

The Family Unification Program (FUP) is a program through which public housing authorities (PHAs) that partner with Public Child Welfare Agencies (PCWAs) provide Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) assistance to two groups:

  1. Families for whom the lack of adequate housing is a primary factor in the imminent placement of the family's child, or children, in out-of-home care; or the delay in the discharge of the child, or children, to the family from out-of-home care; and
  2. Youth at least 18 years and not more than 24 years of age (have not reached their 25th birthday) who left foster care, or will leave foster care within 90 days, in accordance with a transition plan described in Section 475(5)(H) of the Social Security Act, and are homeless or are at risk of becoming homeless at age 16 or older.

Policy Priorities. This NOFO adopts the following policy priorities:

  1. Increase coordination among public housing agencies (PHAs), PCWAs, and Continuums of Care (CoCs);
  2. Leverage data to strategically target and prioritize the use of resources for eligible families and youth;
  3. Strengthen connections to the HUD Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program or similar programs promoting self-sufficiency; and
  4. Increase access to supportive services.
