Home investment partnerships program

Federal Grant Award Summary

Genesee County received a formula grant allocation of $810,808.87 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), effective September 16, 2025, through September 30, 2034. The HOME program distributes formula-based allocations to eligible state and local governments to expand the supply of affordable housing for low- and very low-income households. Genesee County, as a participating jurisdiction, utilizes this funding for affordable housing activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance in the Flint, Michigan area.

As a formula grant recipient, Genesee County must comply with HUD planning and reporting requirements, including submission of five-year Consolidated Plans and annual Action Plans for HUD review within 45 days of receipt. The county is required to maintain records documenting program compliance for five years beyond each activity's affordability period, which ranges from 5 to 20 years depending on the activity type and HOME funding contribution. This award supports the county's broader community development strategy addressing affordable housing needs for moderate- and low-income residents across Genesee County.
