Description
The HOME Investment Partnerships Program is federally funded and administered in North Dakota by the North Dakota Housing Finance Agency (NDHFA). It addresses housing needs identified in the state’s Consolidated Plan through rental production and rehabilitation, single-family homeowner rehabilitation, and homebuyer down payment assistance. Supported work includes acquisition, new construction, rehabilitation, and site improvements or demolition linked to a housing project.
NDHFA distributes funds through subrecipients, nonprofit and for-profit developers, and certified Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs). Rental projects compete through a ranked application process, while homeowner rehabilitation and homebuyer assistance are delivered through subrecipients. The 2026 allocation plan is pending HUD approval, and its funding estimates are subject to the HUD allocation notice and program income.
