HOME Investment Partnerships Program

This project has received some funding from a participating jurisdiction (local or state government agency) through the HUD HOME Investments Partnerships Program (HOME). In projects with five or more HOME-assisted units, at least 20% of these units must be occupied by families earning 50% or less of area median income (AMI). All other HOME-assisted units must be occupied by families earning 80% or less of AMI, but in practice most are reserved for families earning 60% or less AMI. Maximum monthly rent is capped with a Low HOME Rent for <50% AMI units and a High HOME Rent for the remaining HOME-assisted units. Contact the property directly for the specific dollar amount of these rent caps.

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)

This property may receive funding from a participating jurisdiction (local or state government agency) through the HUD Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. If funding is used to meet the CDBG national housing objective, at least 51% of the units must be initially occupied by households earning 80% or less of area median income. The local jurisdiction defines affordable rents for these units.
