The ROSS Rapid Response Program offers one-time cost-reimbursable grants to support service coordination and limited direct services for residents of HUD-assisted housing affected by unanticipated emergencies such as natural disasters, public health crises, and economic disruptions. The program emphasizes local leadership and flexibility through a simplified application process to address urgent social needs effectively.
Eligible applicants include Native American tribal governments, public housing authorities, Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and others as specified. Applicants must serve residents of HUD-assisted housing.
