Home investment partnerships program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded $1,511,919.73 to Dekalb County Department of Finance through the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) on December 17, 2025, with a period of performance extending through September 30, 2034. The award funds affordable housing activities in Decatur, Georgia.

The HOME program distributes formula allocations to states, cities, urban counties, and consortia to expand the supply of affordable housing, particularly rental housing, for low and very low income Americans and to strengthen the capacity of state and local governments to design and implement strategies for adequate supplies of decent housing. Participating jurisdictions must submit a Consolidated Plan every five years and annual action plans and certifications each year; HUD reviews submissions for completeness and consistency with program purposes within 45 days of receipt. Recipients must maintain records documenting program compliance for the most recent five-year period, with affordability documentation retained for five years beyond the required period.

The assistance type is a formula grant. Dekalb County Department of Finance, operating as the Board of Commissioners for DeKalb County, administers federal awards supporting community development and affordable housing across the county. The department has demonstrated substantial capacity administering diverse federal grant programs and has secured significant HOME allocations in prior years to fund affordable housing activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, and rental housing acquisition and construction.
