receives HOPWA funding through the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) and contracts with local non-profit
agencies to provide eligible HOPWA services. Provider
agencies must be registered non-profits (501c3) that have been in
existence for a minimum of two years and have a history of

expenses or emergencies. The following services are provided in
the Orlando Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area (EMSA) which
includes Lake, Orange, Osceola, and Seminole
