Home investment partnerships program

The County of Salt Lake, through its Housing and Community Development Division, received a $1,576,570.51 formula grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), obligated on September 23, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. The HOME program provides need-based formula grants to states and local governments to fund affordable housing activities and rental assistance for low-income households. This award supports three primary activity categories: rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance programs, and tenant-based rental assistance to low-income households in Salt Lake County.

All HOME-assisted housing funded through this award must meet federal income targeting and affordability requirements, with units remaining affordable for 5 to 20 years depending on the specific activity type and level of HOME funding contribution. As a participating jurisdiction, Salt Lake County must comply with federal planning and reporting requirements, including submission of five-year Consolidated Plans and annual Action Plans for HUD review. Since the HOME program's establishment in 1990, it has distributed over $41 billion nationally to create approximately 1.39 million affordable housing units and provide rental assistance to over 422,000 households.
