Home investment partnerships program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded the City of Mansfield, Ohio $329,092.36 on December 10, 2025, under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), a formula grant supporting affordable housing activities.

The award funds rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, rental housing acquisition and construction, and tenant-based rental assistance. Participating jurisdictions including Mansfield may undertake HOME projects directly or pass funds to developers and nonprofit partners. HOME-assisted housing must meet affordability requirements and remain affordable to low-income households for 5, 10, 15, or 20 years depending on the activity type and funding contribution.

The City of Mansfield serves as a participating jurisdiction under the formula allocation structure, which distributes HOME funds to states and local governments based on need rather than competitive application. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2034, with place of performance in Mansfield, Ohio. The city must maintain records documenting compliance with program requirements for the most recent five-year period, plus five years beyond the required affordability period for each project.
