Home investment partnerships program

The City of Rochester received a formula grant allocation of $2.3 million from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), awarded on September 25, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. This funding supports affordable housing activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance to low-income households in Rochester, New York.

All housing units funded through this award must meet federal income targeting and affordability requirements, with assisted housing remaining affordable to low-income residents for periods ranging from 5 to 20 years depending on the type of activity and level of HOME funding contribution. As a participating jurisdiction, the City of Rochester is required to submit five-year Consolidated Plans and annual Action Plans for HUD review and must maintain records documenting compliance with program requirements for five years beyond the required affordability periods. This represents one of six active HOME formula grants the city currently manages as a prime recipient.
