Description
The NYS HOME Program, administered by the New York State Housing Trust Fund Corporation through Homes and Community Renewal, leverages federal HOME Investment Partnership Program funds to increase the supply and quality of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households throughout New York State. Funding supports a range of activities—housing rehabilitation, manufactured housing replacement, homeownership assistance, and tenant-based rental assistance—implemented by local governments, non-profit organizations, and public housing authorities. The program aims to ensure long-term affordability, compliance with federal and state requirements, and to address local housing needs through partnerships and community-based approaches.
