| Program/Policy Description |
The Home Investment Partnership Program, or HOME Program, is designed to provide affordable housing to lower-income households, to increase the number of nonprofit housing providers, and to strengthen the ability of state and local governments to develop and implement affordable housing strategies tailored to local needs and priorities.
The primary objective of this study was to estimate the proportion of rental housing units developed using HOME funds and occupied for more than two years that were within the program's affordable rent limits. The study also sought to explain why rents were not within affordability limits for those units found to be non-compliant. A secondary objective of the study was to estimate the rent burden of households living in HOME units and the extent of receipt of tenant-based assistance.
