The HOME program assists cities, counties, developers, Native American Entities, and nonprofit Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) to create and retain affordable housing. HOME Project Activities provides grants for rental projects and first-time homebuyer subdivision construction projects.
The Application Portal contains all applications for the HOME program (both Project Activities and Program Activities). This includes current HOME NOFA applications as well as Program Income applications. Program Income funds are available only to cities and counties with HOME program income generated from earlier HOME single family or rental projects.
Visit the HOME Program Activities page for first-time homebuyer, owner-occupied rehabilitation, and tenant-based rental assistance programs.
