Home investment partnerships program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded the City of Taunton, Massachusetts $852,162.70 on December 17, 2025, under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), a formula grant for affordable housing development and community-based housing activities. The award funds housing rehabilitation, homebuyer assistance, affordable housing development, and public facility improvements including ADA accessibility enhancements in Taunton. The City of Taunton's Office of Economic and Community Development administers the grant. Performance runs through September 30, 2034, and work is performed in Taunton, MA. The HOME program provides formula allocations to states, cities, urban counties, and consortia to expand the supply of affordable housing for low and very low income residents and to strengthen local capacity to design and implement housing strategies. The program requires recipients to maintain a Consolidated Plan and submit annual action plans and certifications for HUD review within 45 days of receipt. Records documenting program compliance and affordability periods must be retained for five years following the required maintenance period.
