Home investment partnerships program

The City of Hialeah received a $1,225,454.50 formula grant award on September 19, 2025, 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). This award 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. All housing assisted through this grant must meet income targeting and affordability requirements, with funded units remaining affordable to low-income households for periods ranging from 5 to 20 years depending on the activity type and level of HOME funding contribution.

As an established participating jurisdiction, Hialeah will utilize these funds to expand the supply of affordable housing for low and very low-income residents through direct implementation of housing activities or by providing funds to developers, owners, and other affordable housing partners. The city must comply with applicable Consolidated Planning and Annual Action Plan requirements, maintain comprehensive project records for five years beyond affordability periods, and ensure all activities align with the program's statutory objectives under the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act. This award represents part of Hialeah's ongoing engagement with HUD formula grants for community development and housing purposes.
