Home investment partnerships program

Clayton County Board of Commissioners received a $1,054,806.37 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Community Planning and Development office under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) on September 18, 2025. The award, obligated through September 30, 2034, funds affordable housing activities designed to serve low-income households in Jonesboro, Georgia and Clayton County.

Under this award, Clayton County will utilize HOME funds to finance rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, provide homebuyer assistance, acquire and rehabilitate rental housing, and deliver tenant-based rental assistance to eligible low-income residents. All assisted housing activities must meet HOME program income targeting and affordability requirements, with funded units remaining affordable for 5 to 20 years depending on the activity type and level of HOME funding contribution. As a participating jurisdiction, Clayton County may undertake these projects directly or partner with developers and housing providers to deploy the funds, subject to compliance with HUD planning and recordkeeping requirements under 24 CFR Part 91.
