Home investment partnerships program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded $335,392.07 to Chester Economic Development Authority on September 18, 2025, under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239).

Chester Economic Development Authority, a municipal economic development organization serving the City of Chester, Pennsylvania, will use HOME funds to finance affordable housing activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance. Projects funded through this award must meet income targeting and affordability requirements, with assisted housing remaining affordable to low-income households for 5, 10, 15, or 20 years depending on activity type and the amount of HOME funding contributed.

The award covers the period from September 18, 2025, through September 30, 2034, with place of performance in Upper Chichester, Pennsylvania. As a participating jurisdiction under the HOME program, Chester Economic Development Authority receives formula-allocated funds and may undertake HOME projects directly or provide funds to developers, owners, or other partners engaged in affordable housing development. The Authority must maintain records documenting program compliance for the most recent five-year period, with affordability documentation retained for five years beyond the required affordability period.
