Home investment partnerships program

The City & County of Honolulu received a formula grant award of $2,755,249.70 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), obligated on September 15, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. This award will support the development and preservation of affordable housing for low- and very low-income households in Honolulu through activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and construction of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance.

As a participating jurisdiction under the HOME program, the City & County of Honolulu will utilize these funds to finance affordable housing initiatives that comply with federal income targeting requirements and maintain affordability for five to twenty years depending on the activity type and funding contribution. The jurisdiction may undertake projects directly or distribute HOME funds to developers, nonprofit organizations, and community partners to implement affordable housing activities. All projects must adhere to 24 CFR Part 91 regulations, and the city must maintain comprehensive records documenting program compliance and affordability requirements for the duration of the award period.
