The Family Homeless Prevention Assistance Program (FHPAP) is coordinated by Minnesota Housing. It assists single adults without children, families with children, and youth, who are homeless or at risk of being homeless. The goals of FHPAP are to:

●	Prevent homelessness.
●	Reduce the length of stay in emergency housing.
●	Eliminate repeated episodes of homelessness.

FHPAP funds are distributed to local grantees who achieve these outcomes using programs and approaches that make sense in the local community. This may include rental assistance, a revolving loan fund for security deposits, and mortgage foreclosure prevention assistance.

In addition to housing assistance, program participants receive information, referral, and supportive services.

In the 7-county metro area, the county is the grantee. In other counties, grantees may include a county, group of counties, Tribal organization, or community-based non-profit agency.
