The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) allows units of local government that are geographically contiguous to form a consortium for the purpose of participating in the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) and receiving annual allocations of funds to further affordable housing projects. As allowed, the Cities of Avondale, Chandler, Glendale, Peoria, Scottsdale, Surprise and Tempe, the Town of Gilbert and the County of Maricopa collectively formed the Maricopa HOME Consortium (Consortium) with Maricopa County acting as the Lead Agency and HUD providing regulatory oversight.
HUD requires each member of the Consortium to execute an annual Intergovernmental Agreement with the Lead Agency in order to receive the formula allocation of Consortium grant funds.
The City’s allocation of HOME funds for Federal Fiscal Year 2019 was $227,655.22. After recommendation by the Council Not-For-Profit Review and Housing Subcommittee, the City Council approved the funds to be used as follows:
