Charleston Huntington, WV, November 9, 2026 —
The Huntington City Council has approved a significant allocation of funding aimed at addressing homelessness within the city. The council voted to allocate over $600,000 from HOME-ARP funds to create 14 new supportive housing units. These units are intended for individuals who are currently experiencing or are at risk of homelessness in Huntington, West Virginia.
The HOME-ARP program, which stands for Homeowner Assistance and Relief Program for All Americans, provides funding to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on low-income homeowners and renters. This specific allocation from the program is designated for housing projects that offer support services alongside housing stability.
The initiative seeks to provide a stable living environment for vulnerable populations. Supportive housing typically combines affordable housing with voluntary support services designed to help individuals and families with disabilities, including mental health and substance use disorders, to live as independently as possible in the community.
Details regarding the specific locations where these units will be established, the timeline for development, or the organizations that will be managing the housing and providing support services were not immediately available in the summary provided. The exact breakdown of the $600,000+ in funding also requires further clarification.
This investment represents a concrete step by the Huntington City Council to expand housing resources for those in need. The creation of 14 new units is expected to offer crucial assistance to individuals and families facing housing insecurity in the region.
