Home investment partnerships program

Dutchess County of Inc received an $884,622.69 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), effective September 19, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. This award supports the county's affordable housing initiatives in Poughkeepsie, New York, enabling the implementation of HOME-funded activities designed to expand and preserve the supply of decent, affordable housing for low- and very low-income residents.

The funding supports a range of affordable housing activities, including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance. As a participating jurisdiction under the HOME program, Dutchess County may undertake projects directly or partner with developers and nonprofit organizations to deliver these housing solutions. All HOME-assisted housing must meet federal income targeting and affordability requirements, with units remaining affordable for 5 to 20 years depending on the activity type and funding contribution level. The county is required to comply with HUD planning and reporting requirements, including submission of Consolidated and Annual Action Plans for program review and maintenance of records for the duration of the affordability period plus five years thereafter.
