Home investment partnerships program

Baltimore County Maryland received a $2.14 million formula grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), awarded on September 22, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034. The funding supports affordable housing initiatives including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance. All assisted housing units must meet federal income targeting and affordability requirements, with affordability periods ranging from 5 to 20 years depending on the activity type and level of HOME funding contribution.

As a participating jurisdiction, Baltimore County will implement these activities in accordance with its HUD-approved Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan, with ongoing record-keeping and compliance documentation required throughout the award period. The county may serve as a fiscal pass-through to nonprofit organizations and service providers in the Baltimore metropolitan area, consistent with its historical role in administering HUD community development and housing programs. The formula allocation is non-competitive and non-appealable, with HUD maintaining oversight of programmatic compliance and affordability period monitoring.
