Home investment partnerships program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded the City of Wilmington $477,885.02 under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) on December 8, 2025. The award funds affordable housing activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition, rehabilitation, or construction of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance. HOME-assisted housing must meet affordability requirements and remain affordable to low-income households for 5, 10, 15, or 20 years depending on the activity type and amount of HOME funding contributed.

The City of Wilmington, operating as the Delaware Division of Revenue, is the prime recipient. Performance runs through September 30, 2034, with work performed in Wilmington, Delaware. As a formula grant, this allocation is need-based and distributed to the city as a participating jurisdiction; formula allocations may not be appealed. The city must comply with 24 CFR Part 91, submit annual action plans and certifications, and maintain records documenting program compliance for the most recent five-year period, plus five additional years for affordability documentation.
