Home investment partnerships program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Community Planning and Development office, awarded Mobile County, Alabama a formula grant of $574,405.14 under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) effective September 22, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. This allocation supports the county's affordable housing initiatives through a range of eligible activities, including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance to low-income households.

As a participating jurisdiction, Mobile County will utilize these HOME funds to expand the supply of affordable housing while ensuring that assisted housing remains affordable to low-income residents for periods ranging from 5 to 20 years, depending on the activity type and funding contribution. The county may undertake HOME-funded projects directly or distribute funds to developers and other partners for affordable housing development. All funded activities must meet specific income targeting requirements and comply with HUD's regulatory framework under 24 CFR Part 91, requiring the submission and approval of Consolidated Plans and annual Action Plans, along with comprehensive record-keeping for five years beyond the affordability period.
