Home investment partnerships program

The City of Arlington received a formula grant award of $1,145,088.46 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), awarded on September 11, 2025, with a completion deadline of September 30, 2034. This funding supports the expansion of affordable housing supply for low- and very low-income households in Arlington, Texas through a range of eligible housing activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance programs, acquisition and construction of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance.

As a formula-based allocation distributed exclusively to eligible governmental jurisdictions, the grant requires Arlington to develop and maintain Consolidated Plans and annual action plans in compliance with 24 CFR Part 91 regulations. The city may implement housing initiatives directly or distribute funds through sub-awards to developers, nonprofit organizations, and community partners. All HOME-funded projects must maintain affordability for periods ranging from five to twenty years depending on the activity type and funding contribution level. Arlington must maintain documentation of program compliance and affordability periods for the required five-year post-award period and an additional five years beyond the affordability requirements.
