Home investment partnerships program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, awarded County of Wayne a formula grant in the amount of $2,506,800.23 under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) on September 11, 2025. This award, which extends through September 30, 2034, provides funding for the county to expand the supply of affordable housing for low and very low-income households in the Detroit, Michigan area.

Under this formula allocation, County of Wayne may undertake a broad array of housing activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance programs, acquisition and construction of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance. The county will deliver these services either directly through its administrative infrastructure or by providing sub-awards to developers, nonprofit organizations, and community partners. All HOME-funded projects must comply with federal income targeting requirements and maintain affordability for periods ranging from five to twenty years, depending on the activity type. As a formula grant recipient, the county is required to submit Consolidated Plans and annual action plans to HUD, maintain compliance with applicable federal regulations (24 CFR Part 91), and retain comprehensive records documenting program compliance.
