The City of Bellflower received a formula grant award of $389,914.24 on September 25, 2025, from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME, CFDA 14.239). This award funds affordable housing activities designed to serve low- and moderate-income residents through September 30, 2034.

The City of Bellflower will deploy these funds in alignment with HOME program requirements, ensuring that all assisted housing meets income targeting standards and affordability requirements, with units remaining affordable to low-income households for 5 to 20 years depending on activity type and funding contribution levels. The city submits annual Action Plans and periodic Consolidated Plans to HUD for review and compliance certification. This award reflects the city's established track record of administering HUD formula grants for community development and affordable housing initiatives that enhance quality of life for local residents.
