Home investment partnerships program

Alameda County Housing & Community Development received a formula grant award of $2.52M from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) effective September 22, 2025, with completion targeted for September 30, 2034. This award supports the delivery of affordable housing development and rental assistance services throughout Alameda County, California.

The funded activities include rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance programs, acquisition and construction of rental housing units, and tenant-based rental assistance for low-income households. All housing assisted through these funds must meet federal income targeting and affordability requirements, with housing units remaining affordable to low-income residents for periods of 5 to 20 years depending on the activity type and level of HOME funding contribution. As a participating jurisdiction, Alameda County Housing & Community Development may undertake projects directly or distribute funds to developers, owners, and partner organizations to implement these affordable housing initiatives. The grant operates under the HOME program's formula-based allocation methodology, which distributes 60 percent of annual national appropriations to local governments, and requires recipients to maintain comprehensive planning documentation and programmatic records for five years beyond affordability periods.
