Home investment partnerships program

Upper Darby Township received a $501,630.20 formula grant 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) awarded on September 22, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. This funding supports the township's affordable housing initiatives in Kirklyn, Pennsylvania, by financing activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance programs for low-income households.

The HOME program provides formula-based grants to eligible state and local governments that are designated as participating jurisdictions. All housing assisted through these funds must meet federal income targeting and affordability requirements, with units remaining affordable for 5 to 20 years depending on the activity type and level of HOME funding contributed. As a participating jurisdiction, Upper Darby Township will utilize these funds either to undertake HOME projects directly or to provide funding to developers and other affordable housing partners, while maintaining required documentation and compliance with 24 CFR Part 91 throughout the award period.
