Home investment partnerships program

The City of Hamilton, Ohio received a formula grant award of $330,444.17 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) on September 12, 2025. This award, obligated through September 30, 2034, supports the city's Department of Community Development in expanding affordable housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents. The funding enables Hamilton to undertake housing activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance programs, acquisition and construction of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance.

As a formula-allocated grant, this award is distributed by HUD to eligible local government entities based on statutory formulas rather than through competitive application. The City of Hamilton must comply with federal income targeting requirements, maintain affordability standards consistent with activity type and funding levels (typically five to twenty years), and submit comprehensive Consolidated Plans and annual action plans to HUD in accordance with 24 CFR Part 91. The city's commitment to long-term community development is reflected in the ten-year performance period, during which it will document program compliance and maintain records for a minimum of five years beyond required affordability periods.
