Home investment partnerships program

The Municipality of Trujillo Alto received a formula grant award of $323,071.51 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), effective September 19, 2025, with a completion deadline of September 30, 2034. This formula allocation supports the municipality's Community Development Block Grant Division in expanding the supply of affordable housing for low and very low-income residents of Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico, a jurisdiction serving approximately 36,709 residents.

Under the HOME program's eligible activities, the funding supports affordable housing development initiatives including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance. All housing assisted through this award must meet HUD's income targeting and affordability requirements, with assisted units maintained as affordable for 5 to 20 years depending on the activity type and HOME funding contribution. The municipality, as a designated participating jurisdiction, is required to maintain comprehensive records documenting program compliance for five years beyond the affordability period and must submit annual Action Plans for HUD review consistent with 24 CFR Part 91 requirements.
