Home investment partnerships program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded Franklin County Board of Commissioners $815,406.18 under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) on June 9, 2026, with period of performance through September 30, 2033.

Franklin County will use HOME funds to finance affordable housing activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation or construction of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance for low-income households. HOME-assisted housing must meet affordability requirements and remain affordable to low-income households for 5, 10, 15, or 20 years depending on the type of activity and amount of HOME funding contributed.

Performance occurs in Columbus, Ohio. Franklin County, as a participating jurisdiction, may undertake HOME projects directly or provide funds to developers, owners of affordable housing, or other partners. The HOME program distributes formula grants annually to states and local governments; 40 percent of HOME funds are allocated to states and 60 percent to localities. Participating jurisdictions must submit Consolidated Plans every five years and Annual Action Plans annually, subject to HUD review for completeness and consistency with program purposes within 45 days of submission.
