The City of Topeka received a formula grant award of $486,321.64 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), effective September 18, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. This formula allocation supports the city's efforts to expand the supply of affordable housing for low- and very low-income residents through eligible activities including owner-occupied housing rehabilitation, homebuyer assistance, and acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing.
As a participating jurisdiction in the HOME program, the City of Topeka's Financial Services Division administers these federal funds in accordance with its five-year Consolidated Plan and annual Action Plans, which are subject to HUD review. The award continues the city's demonstrated capacity to manage complex federal housing programs and integrate HOME funding with complementary HUD initiatives, including the Continuum of Care Program and Lead Hazard Reduction grants, to comprehensively address affordable housing needs and community development priorities.
