Description
The HOME Investment Partnership Program is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and administered by Mississippi Home Corporation (MHC). It supports safe, decent, affordable housing for very-low- and low-income citizens through homebuyer assistance, homeowner rehabilitation, and the construction or substantial rehabilitation of rental housing. The program is governed by 24 CFR Part 92 and other federal cross-cutting requirements.
HOME includes separate pathways for rental developers, Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs), local governments coordinating homeowner rehabilitation, homebuyers, and disaster-affected counties. Rental funding supports permanent single-family and multifamily housing and is intended to leverage other affordable-housing resources. MHC reviews project readiness, financial feasibility, and financing gaps, with income, rent, property-standard, and affordability requirements applying to assisted housing.
