FR-6144-F-05 HOME Investment Partnerships Program: Program Updates and Streamlining—Delay of Effective Date, Withdrawal, and Correction
Summary
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is delaying and withdrawing recent changes it made to the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, which provides federal funding to help build affordable housing and support low-income families. The agency is reversing course on updates it had planned to implement, giving states and local organizations more time to prepare for any future changes to this important housing assistance program.
Key Points
- 1HUD is postponing new rules for the HOME program that would have changed how federal housing money is distributed and managed
- 2The agency is withdrawing some updates it previously announced, meaning those changes will not take effect as originally scheduled
- 3States and local governments that rely on HOME funding for affordable housing projects will have more time to adjust to any new requirements
- 4This delay affects organizations working to address housing shortages and help low-income families afford homes
- 5HUD is also correcting technical errors in the rules, ensuring clearer and more accurate guidance for housing programs
Impact Assessment
If you are a state or local housing administrator, this means you have additional time to prepare for HOME Program changes and will not need to implement the delayed updates immediately.
