Home investment partnerships program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded Harris County $4,839,440.43 under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program on February 23, 2026, to expand the supply of affordable housing, particularly rental housing, for low and very low income residents. This formula grant allocates funds to Harris County as an entitlement under CFDA 14.239 through September 30, 2034. Harris County, headquartered in Houston, Texas, administers the award as a prime recipient and will deploy the funds to strengthen local capacity for designing and implementing affordable housing strategies. The award is a formula allocation under the HOME program structure and carries no appeal rights on the formula determination. Harris County must maintain Consolidated Plans and Annual Action Plans consistent with 24 CFR Part 91, submit to HUD review within 45 days of submission, and retain records documenting program compliance for the most recent five-year period, with affordability documentation retained for five years beyond the required period.
