Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Tallahassee received a formula grant award of $914,338.44 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239). The award, effective January 16, 2026, with a completion deadline of September 30, 2034, supports the city's affordable housing initiatives through formula-based allocation. The HOME program provides funding for a range of housing activities designed to expand the supply of affordable housing for low- and very low-income residents, including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and construction of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance.

Under this award, the City of Tallahassee, through its Grants & Enterprise Resources Division, will deploy the allocated funds to advance affordable housing projects within the jurisdiction. As a participating locality under the HOME program, the city is required to implement these funds in accordance with its Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan, ensuring that all assisted housing remains affordable to low-income households for the required five- to twenty-year affordability periods. The city will coordinate housing development activities directly or through sub-award arrangements with developers, nonprofit organizations, and community partners to achieve the program's affordable housing objectives and meet income targeting requirements.
