Home investment partnerships program

DuPage County received a formula grant allocation of $1.57 million 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), awarded September 16, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. The program distributes formula-based allocations to eligible governmental entities to expand the supply of affordable housing for low- and very low-income households in the county's service area.

The funding supports a range of housing activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance programs, acquisition and construction of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance. DuPage County, as a participating jurisdiction, may undertake projects directly or distribute funds through sub-awards to developers, nonprofit organizations, and community partners to implement these affordable housing initiatives. All HOME-funded activities must comply with federal income targeting requirements and maintain affordability for five to twenty years depending on the activity type and funding level. The county is required to submit Consolidated Plans and annual action plans to HUD and maintain compliance with applicable federal regulations (24 CFR Part 91) throughout the award period.
