Home investment partnerships program

The City of Kalamazoo received a $456,816.81 formula grant award dated September 17, 2025, from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239). This award supports the development and preservation of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income residents in Kalamazoo, Michigan through the completion date of September 30, 2034.

The funded activities include rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance. All housing assisted through this award must meet income targeting requirements and remain affordable to low-income households for periods ranging from 5 to 20 years, depending on the activity type and level of HOME funding contribution. The City of Kalamazoo, as a designated participating jurisdiction, will either undertake these affordable housing projects directly or distribute HOME funds to developers, owners, and other qualified partners to implement the program's objectives at the local level.
