Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded Manatee County $588,051.16 under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) on January 7, 2026, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. This formula grant supports the county's efforts to expand the supply of affordable housing for low- and very low-income residents through eligible activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance programs, acquisition and construction of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance.

As a formula-funded jurisdiction, Manatee County will deploy these funds in accordance with its Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan submitted to HUD, working directly or through partnerships with sub-recipients such as Habitat for Humanity and other community development organizations. The HOME program requires that all assisted housing remain affordable to low-income households for five to twenty years depending on the activity type, and participating jurisdictions must maintain detailed records documenting compliance with program requirements for five years following project completion.
