2025 HOME Investment Partnerships Program Funding for Homeownership Projects

The Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency (MDHA) is soliciting applications from qualified nonprofit housing developers for funding to provide affordable homeownership opportunities to low- and moderate-income (LMI) households. MDHA has set aside a minimum of $500,000 in HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds for eligible homeownership projects to be completed by qualified developers in response to this request for applications (RFA). The intent of this RFA is to identify homeownership projects that create decent, affordable housing opportunities for LMI households utilizing HOME funds that leverage other resources.  All HOME-funded projects must comply with all U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HOME program regulations as described in the RFA.

All applications must be created and submitted electronically via the Neighborly system no later than Friday, Sept. 19, 2025.  

A pre-application meeting will be held at 10 a.m. CDT Thursday, Aug. 28, 2025, via Zoom. Information regarding the Zoom conference can be accessed above and in Section 5.3 of the RFA.

The criteria for evaluating the applications will be based on the items set forth in the RFA.  Awards will be made to the most responsive and responsible applications, which in the judgment of MDHA, best meet the current needs and long-term goals of MDHA and the HOME program. MDHA reserves the right to reject any application and/or waive any informality in the solicitation process.  To request accommodation, please contact Conor O’Neil at 615-252-8562.
