Home investment partnerships program

The City of Berkeley received $566,445.30 in formula grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) as of September 22, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. This award supports the expansion and preservation of affordable housing for low and very low-income residents through eligible activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance.

As a participating jurisdiction, the City of Berkeley must utilize the funds in accordance with its Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans, ensuring that all assisted housing units meet income targeting requirements and remain affordable for 5 to 20 years depending on the activity type and level of HOME funding contribution. The city is required to maintain comprehensive records for five years beyond the affordability periods to document compliance with program requirements and demonstrate achievement of program objectives.
