Saint Clair County Intergovernmental Grants Department received a formula grant award of $787,896.86 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239). The award was obligated on September 16, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. The program supports the expansion of affordable housing supply, particularly rental housing, for low and very low-income Americans through formula-based allocations to eligible state and local government jurisdictions.
Under this award, Saint Clair County will deliver affordable housing activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance. All funded housing must meet federal income targeting and affordability requirements, with assisted units maintained as affordable for 5 to 20 years depending on activity type. The county serves a multi-county region encompassing Clinton, Monroe, Randolph, Washington, and St. Clair Counties in Illinois and must comply with HUD planning requirements, including submission of five-year Consolidated Plans and annual Action Plans for HUD review and approval.
