Home investment partnerships program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded the City of Charleston, West Virginia a HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) formula grant of $706,458.88 on September 25, 2025. This award supports affordable housing development and rental assistance activities, including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, and acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing for low and very low-income households. The grant extends through September 30, 2034, and assisted housing units must maintain affordability requirements for 5 to 20 years depending on the activity type and level of HOME funding contribution.

As a participating jurisdiction under the HOME program, the City of Charleston is responsible for implementing housing activities in accordance with its five-year Consolidated Plan and annual Action Plans, which are subject to HUD review for compliance with program requirements under 24 CFR Part 91. The city must maintain comprehensive records documenting program outcomes and affordability compliance for the five-year period following the completion of the award's affordability requirements. This formula allocation reflects the city's established capacity to administer federal housing resources and advance community development objectives within the Charleston metropolitan area.
