Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Fontana received $588,015.66 in formula grant funding awarded on September 18, 2025, under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. This nine-year grant, with a completion date of September 30, 2034, supports the expansion of affordable housing for low- and very low-income residents in Fontana, California. The HOME program provides formula-based allocations to eligible state and local governments to fund diverse housing activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance programs, acquisition and construction of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance.

As an entitlement community with prior experience implementing federally-funded housing programs, the City of Fontana will deploy these funds toward its affordable housing initiatives in alignment with its Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan submitted to HUD. Consistent with HOME program requirements, all funded projects must meet income targeting and affordability requirements, with assisted housing remaining affordable to low-income households for five to twenty years depending on the activity type. The City of Fontana may coordinate housing delivery directly or through sub-award arrangements with developers, nonprofit organizations, and community partners to achieve program objectives.
