Home investment partnerships program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded County of Kitsap $668,553.08 under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) on December 11, 2025.

The award funds affordable housing activities in South Park Village, Washington through September 30, 2034. Under the HOME program, the county will deploy funds to finance a range of activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, assistance to homebuyers, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance. HOME-assisted housing must meet affordability requirements and remain affordable to low-income households for 5, 10, 15, or 20 years depending on the activity type and amount of HOME funding contributed.

This is a formula grant allocated to County of Kitsap as a participating jurisdiction. The HOME program distributes need-based formula grants to states and localities; the county qualifies as an eligible local government under 24 CFR Part 91 and must maintain records documenting compliance with program requirements for the current five-year period plus five years beyond any affordability period.
