services, and other appropriate activities for homelessness prevention 
and rapid re-housing of persons who have become homeless. HUD will 
administer these funds as the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-

grantee's Consolidated Plan 2008 Annual Action Plan as a condition of 
receiving funds. HPRP grant amounts will be determined by a formula 
authorized by Section 413 of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act 
and will be awarded by HUD to the following eligible grantees: states, 
metropolitan cities, and urban counties that receive over $500,000 
according to the formula allocation, and territories, which receive 
0.2% of the total allocation.
    This Notice also lists the following information:
