Home investment partnerships program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded $2,928,871.25 to the County of San Bernardino under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) on September 19, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. This formula grant provides affordable housing and rental assistance activities for low- and very low-income residents throughout San Bernardino County. Specifically, the funds support rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance.

The County of San Bernardino's Community Development and Housing Department administers these HOME funds through its CDBG Division to develop viable urban communities and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income households. All HOME-assisted housing must meet income targeting and affordability requirements, with funded units remaining affordable for 5 to 20 years depending on the activity type and extent of HOME funding contribution. As a participating jurisdiction, the county may undertake HOME projects directly or partner with developers and other organizations to deliver these housing development and rental assistance services.
