HOME Program

The HTF program was created by section 1121 of the Housing and Recovery Act of 2008. HTF provides formula grants to States to increase and preserve the supply of decent, safe, and sanitary affordable housing for extremely low-income households. HTF funds are for rental only projects for either multifamily or single family rental units. The Period of Affordability for HTF is a minimum of 30 years and is dedicated to the 30% AMI families.

The HOME Investment Partnership Program gives special assistance to community based affordable housing development organizations. These organizations, referred to as CHDOs are nonprofit organizations that have met very specific HOME requirements and have professional staff with the capacity to develop affordable housing in their community(s). The HOME program requires IHFA to set aside a minimum of 15% of each HOME allocation for eligible housing activities owned or developed by IHFA-certified CHDOs.

A Certified CHDO has met HOME requirements regarding legal status, IRS tax exempt status, organizational structure, and professional development staff capacity. IHFA certifies its CHDOs prior to committing CHDO-Set-aside funds.

The HOME Investment Partnerships Program provides low interest gap financing to approved developers to create and preserve affordable rental housing throughout the State of Idaho. HOME funds are awarded following a competitive scoring application process. HOME applications are accepted following a published NOFA.

The intent of the HOME Program is to provide decent, affordable housing to qualified homebuyers who are at or below 80% AMI. The HOME program partners with the private sector, units of local government, and nonprofit developers to create and preserve affordable homebuyer housing throughout the State of Idaho.
