Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of the HOME Investment Partnerships American Rescue Plan Program (HOME-ARP) funds under 24 CFR Part 92 under Title II of the Cranston Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act (NAHA), in accordance with Section 288 (42 U.S.C. 12838) to undertake a project known as Vincentian Villas II located at 1825 Lavilla Road, Punta Gorda, Charlotte County, Florida 33950.
