OCTOBER 1, 2023 – SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

 

Starting March 1, 2023, Adams County Housing Policy & Community Investments Division (HPCI) will be accepting applications from organizations for projects within the County that will benefit low and moderate-income residents and neighborhoods through funding from the following grant:

HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program

The 2023 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds will be used for County and Urban County projects (cities of Northglenn, Brighton, Federal Heights, and Town of Bennett); therefore, there will be no Notice of Funding Availability issued to outside agencies.

The HOME Program is funded through the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD).  Any and all final awards are contingent on compliance with 24 CFR Part 92, Environmental Review, Section 3, Uniform Relocation Act, and receipt of funds from HUD.

HOME funds support permanent, decent, affordable housing to low and moderate-income households, expand affordable housing options, strengthen the ability of state and local governments to provide housing, and leverage private-sector participation.

Applications are due by 5:00 PM on Friday, March 31, 2023.  Prior to or on the due date, applicants may schedule a 30 minute meeting with HPCI to submit a completed application.  To schedule a meeting please contact (720) 523-6200 or [email protected].  The application may be submitted in person during the scheduled meeting at:
