FR-6144-F-04 HOME Investment Partnerships Program: Program Updates and Streamlining—Delay of Effective Date

Housing

Summary

The federal government is delaying when new updates to the HOME program—which helps fund affordable housing projects—will take effect. This gives housing organizations and state/local governments more time to prepare for new rules about how they manage and report on affordable housing funds.

Key Points

  • 1New streamlined rules for the HOME Investment Partnerships Program are being postponed to a later date instead of taking effect immediately
  • 2State and local housing agencies that receive federal funds for affordable housing projects will have extra time to update their systems and procedures
  • 3The delay allows organizations to better prepare for changes in how they must track, manage, and report on housing program money
  • 4This affects affordable housing developers, community organizations, and state/local governments that use HOME program funds
  • 5The specific new effective date will be announced later, but organizations should start preparing for the updates now
