These amendments to the HOME regulations represent the most significant changes to the HOME Program in 17 years.HOME provides formula grants to States and localities that communities use - often in partnership with local nonprofit groups - to fund a wide range of activities, including building, buying, and rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or homeownership or providing direct rental assistance to low-income households. HOME is the largest Federal block grant to state and local governments that is designed exclusively to create affordable housing for low-income households.HOME funds are awarded annually as formula grants to participating jurisdictions (PJs). The program’s flexibility allows states and local governments to use HOME funds for grants, direct loans, loan guarantees or other forms of credit enhancements, rental assistance or security deposits.The program was designed to reinforce several important values and principles of community development:HOME's flexibility empowers people and communities to design and implement strategies tailored to their own needs and priorities.HOME's emphasis on consolidated planning expands and strengthens partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector in the development of affordable housing.HOME's technical assistance activities and set-aside for qualified community-based nonprofit housing groups builds the capacity of these partners.HOME's requirement that participating jurisdictions?match 25 cents of every dollar in program funds mobilizes community resources in support of affordable housing.HOME funds may be used for eligible activities intentionally and specifically focused on housing. Participating jurisdictions may choose among a broad range of eligible activities from acquiring, rehabilitating and reselling affordable housing units to income eligible homebuyers to transitional housing services.The Gwinnett County Community Development Program Office requires local agencies, affordable housing developers, and government entities interested in participating as a subrecipient in the HOME program to submit an annual application. This funding application is for the period beginning January 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2021. A Selection Committee will review all applications for compliance with minimum requirements and make funding recommendations to the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners.
