The City of Abilene, as a participating jurisdiction, may undertake HOME projects directly or distribute funds to developers, owners, or other affordable housing partners. Formula grants under the HOME program are allocated to states and local governments based on need-based criteria; individual applicants are not eligible. The City of Abilene must maintain records documenting compliance with program requirements for the most recent five-year period, with affordability documentation records retained for five years beyond the required affordability period.
