Home investment partnerships program

The County of Horry received a $984,438.54 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 11, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. This award funds a range of affordable housing activities designed to expand housing opportunities for low- and very low-income households, including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and construction of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance to eligible residents.

As a participating jurisdiction, Horry County will deploy these HOME funds either through direct implementation of affordable housing projects or by providing sub-awards to developers, nonprofit organizations, and community partners. All HOME-funded activities must comply with federal income targeting requirements and maintain affordability compliance for periods ranging from 5 to 20 years, depending on the activity type and level of HOME funding contribution. The county is required to maintain comprehensive project records and submit annual action plans to HUD for review and approval in accordance with 24 CFR Part 91 regulations throughout the award period.
