HOME Program

The HOME Program is designed to:

  • Expand the supply of decent and affordable housing, particularly rental housing, for low- and very-low income individuals.
  • Strengthen the abilities of State and local governments to design and implement strategies for achieving adequate supplies of decent, affordable housing.
  • Provide both financial and technical assistance to participating jurisdictions (entitlement areas) including the development of model programs of affordable housing for very-low and low-income families.
  • Expand and strengthen partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector, including for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, in the production and operation of affordable housing.
