The purposes of technical assistance under these three programs are as follows:

HOME Technical Assistance. To help HOME participating jurisdictions design and implement HOME programs, including improving their ability to design and implement housing strategies and incorporate energy efficiency into affordable housing; facilitating the exchange of information to help participating jurisdictions carry out their programs; facilitating the establishment and efficient operation of employer-assisted housing programs and land bank programs; and encouraging private lenders and for-profit developers of low-income housing to participate in public-private partnerships.

McKinney-Vento Act Homeless Assistance Programs Technical Assistance. To provide applicants, potential applicants, grantees, and project sponsors for McKinney-Vento Act funded Emergency Shelter Grants, Supportive Housing Program, Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy and Shelter Plus Care projects with technical assistance that promotes the development of housing and supportive services, as part of the Continuum of Care approach, to assist homeless persons in the transition from homelessness and to enable them to live as independently as possible.

HOPWA Technical Assistance. To train HOPWA grantees, project sponsors, and potential recipients of program funds in comprehensive housing strategies and responsive area programs that assist residents who are living with HIV/AIDS, and in the sound management of efficient and effective HOPWA programs.
