In plain English
A HUD program providing one-time, cost-reimbursable grants for service coordination and limited direct services to residents of HUD-assisted housing facing emergencies such as natural disasters or public-health crises. Eligible applicants include public/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status, including resident associations), multifamily owners, Tribal governments and entities, and faith-based organizations, so eligibility is relatively broad among housing-connected organizations. Awards run roughly $112,500 to $250,000. Note that funds are reimbursed after costs are incurred and serve HUD-assisted housing residents specifically.
