Costs to attend the 2024 HOPWA Institute can be billed to HOPWA awards. HOPWA grantees should review their HOPWA budgets and reserve funds to attend this training. Grantees should ensure that funds are available to cover travel costs and staff time those in attendance. HUD expects three team members from each grantee and three staff from each project sponsor agency that receives over $250,000 per year to attend the 3-day event.

The 2024 HOPWA Institute will be an opportunity to learn the most current HOPWA program information, as well as network with other HOPWA programs from across the country. Topics will include: best practices for HOPWA housing and services including strategies to revamp existing programs to meet current needs, advancing equity in HOPWA funded activities, updated guidance on HOPWA eligible activities, and administrative topics including financial management.
