Home investment partnerships program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded $1,042,006.12 to County of Jefferson Human Services under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) on September 23, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. This formula grant funds affordable housing initiatives and rental assistance activities designed to expand the supply of decent housing for low and very low-income residents in Jefferson County, Colorado. The awarded funds support eligible HOME activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance. All housing units funded through this award must meet HUD's income targeting and affordability requirements, with assisted units remaining affordable for periods ranging from 5 to 20 years depending on the activity type and level of HOME funding contribution.

As an established participating jurisdiction, County of Jefferson Human Services must comply with HUD planning and reporting requirements, including submission of five-year Consolidated Plans and annual Action Plans for HUD review within 45 days of receipt. The organization is responsible for maintaining comprehensive records for the most recent five-year period, with documentation of affordability compliance maintained for five years beyond the required affordability period. This formula allocation, consistent with the program's distribution methodology to states and eligible local governments, reflects the county's demonstrated capacity to administer federal housing assistance and serve vulnerable populations within Jefferson County and surrounding areas.
