FY 2025-26 Housing & Neighborhood Development Annual Report

Assistance to Residents at Risk of Homelessness The City of Greensboro sponsors different programs and services to assist individuals and households at risk of homelessness. Through these efforts, the City ensures residents have access to safe and stable housing. Approved by the City Council in the spring of 2026, the Emergency Tenant Assistance Program provides temporary housing assistance to up to 24 eligible households displaced through no fault of their own. The City’s HOME-ARP Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program supports households experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk of homelessness with long-term rental assistance and housing stabilization services. The program complements and strengthens the Guilford County Continuum of Care (CoC) Coordinated Entry System by prioritizing households identified through the CoC By-Name List. Family Service of the Piedmont and the Greensboro Housing Coalition also refer households fleeing domestic violence who need safe, permanent housing. The City also funds two programs that provide housing assistance to individuals living with the human

immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Clients receive housing vouchers, emergency housing assistance during times of crisis, and permanent housing support. In FY 2025-26, 125 low-income individuals living with HIV received assistance to secure or maintain permanent housing. The City coordinates with the CoC to administer rapid re housing services, which include rental assistance, financial assistance, and housing support for those experiencing homelessness. The department helped 68 individuals secure housing in FY 2025-26. In collaboration with the City’s Department of Community Safety, HND supports five emergency shelters that provide

temporary housing to those experiencing homelessness. The shelters provide a safe and accessible place during extreme weather conditions, including excessive heat and cold. In FY 2025–26, 1,255 individuals received temporary shelter.
