Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Jacksonville, Florida received a $3,287,435.97 formula grant award 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 January 5, 2026, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. Under this award, Jacksonville will deploy HOME funds to finance a comprehensive range of affordable housing activities, including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance programs, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance to low-income households. The city may undertake these housing projects directly or provide funds to developers, nonprofit organizations, and other community partners to expand the supply of affordable housing within its jurisdiction.

All HOME-funded housing activities must comply with federal income targeting and affordability requirements, with assisted housing remaining affordable to low-income households for five to twenty years depending on the activity type and level of HOME funding contributed. Jacksonville is required to maintain comprehensive records documenting program compliance and affordability periods, submit annual action plans to HUD, and adhere to applicable regulatory standards outlined in 24 CFR Part 91. Since the HOME program's establishment in 1990, the national program has distributed over $41 billion to create more than 1.38 million affordable housing units and provide rental assistance to over 422,000 households.
