Home investment partnerships program

The City of Harrisburg received a formula grant allocation of $469,627.19 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), awarded on September 24, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. As an entitlement community and participating jurisdiction, Harrisburg utilizes these funds to support affordable housing initiatives, including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance for low and very low-income households.

The HOME program operates through formula-based allocations to eligible state and local governments rather than competitive solicitation. Under this award, Harrisburg must comply with HUD's planning and reporting requirements, including submission of five-year Consolidated Plans and annual Action Plans for HUD review. All housing funded through this allocation must meet income targeting and affordability requirements, with assisted units remaining affordable for 5 to 20 years depending on the activity type and HOME funding contribution. The grantee is required to maintain comprehensive records for five years beyond the required affordability periods to document compliance with program requirements.
