HOME Investment Partnerships Program

The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) administered by DHCD's Housing Development Division is intended to assist Prince George's County in expanding the supply of decent, affordable housing for our low and very low-income families.


HOME Funds

Prince George's County, through a formula-driven measure, considers the relative inadequacy of each jurisdiction's housing supply, its incidence of poverty, its fiscal distress and other factors, is eligible to receive approximately $3.5 million annually from a Federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) appropriation.

Program Guidelines

To ensure that HOME investments yield affordable housing over the long term, the County requires that the minimum or greater affordability period for each type of eligible activity be incorporated into each project. Also, the County requires each HOME-funded project to be in compliance with Federal Laws and Regulations that govern the HOME Program.  HUD Exchange: https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/home/
