Home investment partnerships program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Community Planning and Development office, awarded County of Hidalgo a formula grant of $1,933,296.66 under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) on September 25, 2025, with completion anticipated by September 30, 2034. This funding supports the development and expansion of affordable housing for low- and very low-income households in Hidalgo County, Texas. The grant finances a range of housing activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance to eligible populations.

As a participating jurisdiction, County of Hidalgo administers these HOME funds to create and preserve affordable housing units that meet federal income targeting and affordability requirements, with assisted housing remaining affordable for periods of 5 to 20 years depending on the activity type and level of HOME funding contribution. The county may undertake housing projects directly or provide funds to developers and housing partners. This award represents part of the county's ongoing portfolio of HUD formula grants supporting community development and affordable housing initiatives within its jurisdiction.
