Home investment partnerships program

Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Westminster received a formula grant award of $384,859.87 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME, CFDA 14.239), dated September 18, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. This allocation supports the City's affordable housing initiatives through funding for activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance to low-income households.

Based on the City's demonstrated grant portfolio, Westminster has utilized HOME funds to develop affordable housing projects such as the 14125 Goldenwest Street Housing Project, which created 28 affordable rental units with wraparound supportive services for persons experiencing homelessness and low-income populations. All housing assisted through HOME funding must meet federal income targeting and affordability requirements, with units remaining affordable for periods ranging from 5 to 20 years depending on the activity type and level of HOME funding contribution. The City, as an established participating jurisdiction, must comply with HUD's consolidated planning and annual action plan requirements and maintain program records for five years beyond applicable affordability periods.
