Home investment partnerships program

The City of Fontana received a formula grant award of $588,015.66 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) on September 18, 2025. The award will support affordable housing activities through September 30, 2034, with eligible uses including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance. All housing assisted under this award must meet HUD income-targeting requirements and remain affordable for 5 to 20 years depending on the activity type and HOME funding contribution.

As an entitlement community with established experience in federally-funded housing and community development programs, the City of Fontana will implement these activities in accordance with its Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan, both subject to HUD review and compliance with 24 CFR Part 91. The city must maintain records documenting compliance with program requirements for five years beyond the affordability period, consistent with HOME program regulations. This formula allocation reflects HUD's ongoing support for the City of Fontana's comprehensive approach to expanding the supply of affordable housing for low- and very low-income residents.
