Home investment partnerships program

Anderson County received a $449,354.92 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Community Planning and Development division, under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), effective September 10, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. This funding supports the county's affordable housing initiatives through activities including the rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance for low- and very low-income households.

HOME funds allocated to Anderson County must be deployed in compliance with federal income targeting and affordability requirements, with assisted housing remaining affordable for 5 to 20 years depending on the activity type and funding contribution level. As a participating jurisdiction, Anderson County may implement these affordable housing projects directly or distribute funds to developers, nonprofit organizations, and community partners. The county is required to maintain comprehensive documentation of program compliance and submit Consolidated Plans and annual action plans to HUD for review and approval in accordance with 24 CFR Part 91 regulations.
