Home investment partnerships program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded $408,651.14 to County of Barnstable on December 5, 2025, under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239).

The award funds affordable housing activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation or construction of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance. HOME-assisted housing must meet affordability definitions and remain affordable to low-income households for 5, 10, 15, or 20 years depending on the activity type and amount of HOME funding contributed. Participating jurisdictions like Barnstable County may undertake HOME projects directly or provide funds to developers, owners, or other partners.

Performance is scheduled through September 30, 2034, with place of performance in Barnstable, Massachusetts. This is a formula grant allocated under the HOME program's distribution mechanism, which provides 60 percent of annual HOME appropriations to localities and 40 percent to states. County of Barnstable is a parent government entity that has consistently received HOME formula grants in prior years (2021–2024) and manages the award as the recipient and participating jurisdiction.
