Home investment partnerships program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded County of Osceola $933,522.56 under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) on December 18, 2025. The award, a formula grant, supports the expansion of affordable housing supply, particularly rental housing for low and very low income residents, through September 30, 2034, with place of performance in Kissimmee, Florida. County of Osceola, an entitlement community, receives formula allocations under HOME to design and implement strategies for increasing the supply of decent affordable housing. The county must follow 24 CFR Part 91 requirements, including submission of a Consolidated Plan every five years and annual action plans and certifications, with HUD's responsible Field Office reviewing submissions for completeness and consistency with program purposes within 45 days of receipt. Records documenting the county's compliance with program requirements must be retained for five years; records documenting the period of affordability must be maintained for five years beyond the required period.
