HOME Investment Partnerships Program
The HOME program is a federally funded program that provides funding to eligible organizations to strengthen public-private partnerships to expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing. Primary attention is given to rental housing for very low- and low-income families. It is the intent of Salt Lake City, through participation with the HOME program, to maximize participation by the private sector, including non-profit organizations and for-profit entities, in the implementation of the City's approved Consolidated Plan. This effort will include participation in the financing, development, rehabilitation and management of affordable housing. Eligible applicants include: 1) non-profit organizations, 2) for-profit entities, 3) nonprofit community housing development organizations, and 4) public agencies. The HOME program requires applicants to provide a 25% non-federal match.
This program advances through an annual process that begins with the solicitation of applications and includes project review by city staff, the Housing Trust Fund Advisory Board (HTFAB) and the Mayor. Funding recommendations are made by the HTFAB and the Mayor to the City Council, which has the final funding approval authority. The City Council will approve the final funding recommendations in April of each year. Successful projects receive their funding in July of the year following submission of their application.
