A recent survey, conducted in December 2021, by Clarksville Neighborhood & Community Services (CNCS) revealed that HOME-ARP funding will have the most significant impact for the City of Clarksville by creating a program that offers rental assistance for up to 24 months for low- to very-low-income persons. 

The City will be receiving $1,882,125 in HOME-ARP funding. These funds will be used for Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) and eligible Administration costs of up to 20%.
