HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION & RAPID REHOUSING

The MRA is the lead agency for the City of Malden in administering the City's Homelessness and Rapid Rehousing Program funds.  This funding was made available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (AARA) passed by Congress in 2009.

$636,677 in federal funds were made available to the City of Malden through the HPRP Program, to assist families and individuals facing homelessness, or at risk of homelessness during the increasingly trying economic times.

The MRA undertook an RFP process to solicit requests to administer the funds, and awarded six agencies with HPRP funding.  The agencies and their programs, as well as their contact information is provided below:
