Home investment partnerships program

The City of Westland received a formula grant award of $233,465.14 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), effective September 17, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. This funding supports affordable housing activities designed to benefit low- and moderate-income residents within Westland's jurisdiction.

The HOME program funds will be deployed to support a range of affordable housing initiatives, including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance. All housing assisted through these funds must meet federal income targeting requirements and affordability standards, with assisted units required to remain affordable for 5 to 20 years depending on the activity type and level of HOME funding contribution. As a participating jurisdiction, the City of Westland may undertake these housing activities directly or in partnership with developers and affordable housing organizations, while maintaining compliance with HUD's regulatory requirements under 24 CFR Part 91.
