Formula Grant M25UC120213

Orange County, Florida received a $2,673,793.48 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), 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. The funding supports the county's affordable housing initiatives through a range of eligible activities, including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance programs, acquisition and construction of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance for low- and very low-income households.

As a participating jurisdiction under the HOME program, Orange County will deploy these funds to expand the supply of affordable housing while ensuring that all assisted housing meets income targeting and affordability requirements and remains affordable to low-income households for five to twenty years, depending on the activity type and funding contribution level. The county may undertake HOME-funded projects directly or provide funding to developers, nonprofit organizations, and other community partners to achieve program objectives. All activities must be documented in the county's Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan, which are subject to HUD review and compliance with 24 CFR Part 91 requirements.
