Home investment partnerships program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded the City of Downey $408,384.44 under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) on January 23, 2026, with a period of performance through September 30, 2034. The award, a formula grant, supports affordable housing activities in Downey, California. The HOME program distributes formula allocations to states, cities, urban counties, and eligible consortia to expand the supply of affordable housing, particularly rental housing, for low and very low income households. Participating jurisdictions must submit Consolidated Plans every five years and annual action plans and certifications each year, subject to HUD review for completeness and consistency with program purposes within 45 days of receipt. Grantees maintain records documenting program compliance for a minimum of five years, with affordability documentation retained for five years beyond the required period.
