Home investment partnerships program

The County of Rockland received a formula grant award of $970,993.33 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), administered through the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239). The award was obligated on September 12, 2025, with a completion deadline of September 30, 2034. As a formula-based allocation to an eligible local government entity, these funds support the expansion of affordable housing supply for low- and very low-income households within Rockland County, New York.

Under the HOME program, the County of Rockland may utilize these funds to finance a range of housing activities, including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance initiatives, acquisition and construction of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance. The county may implement these activities directly or through sub-awards to developers, nonprofit organizations, and community partners. All HOME-funded projects must comply with federal income targeting requirements and maintain affordability periods of five to twenty years depending on the activity type. The County of Rockland is required to submit Consolidated Plans and annual action plans to HUD in compliance with 24 CFR Part 91 regulations and maintain detailed records documenting program compliance and affordability periods as prescribed by federal requirements.
