Home investment partnerships program

The City of Saint Joseph, Missouri received a formula grant award of $363,822.95 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). The award, obligated on September 15, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2034, supports the expansion of affordable housing supply for low- and very low-income households in St. Joseph.

Through this formula allocation, the City of Saint Joseph will implement a range of housing activities designed to increase affordable housing availability, which may include rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance programs, acquisition and construction of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance. The funding aligns with the HOME program's statutory requirement that all projects comply with federal income targeting requirements and maintain affordability for five to twenty years depending on the activity type. The city is required to submit annual action plans to HUD and maintain compliance with 24 CFR Part 91 regulations, documenting program compliance for five years plus an additional five years beyond required affordability periods.
