DISCUSSION: The HOME Investment Partnerships Program is intended to be a partnership between federal, state and local government, and non-profit and for-profit agencies who, build, own, manage, finance and support low income housing initiatives. Participating Jurisdictions (PJs), such as the City of Fort Worth, are particularly encouraged to work with existing community-based, non-profit housing organizations and to help develop new housing non-profits. To ensure this participation, a minimum 15% of a PJs' HOME funds must be set -aside to be used for Community Housing Development Corporations (CHDOs) and up to 5% may be set aside to fund CHDO's operating expenses. CHDOs are certified by PJs according to specific eligibility criteria. Commitments of HOME Funds must be made according to a timetable established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The City issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for CHDO funds. S.O.P. Community and Economic Development Corporation submitted a proposal for Home CHDO Support Funds in response to the NOFA. The Housing Workforce Development Committee approved this recommendation on September 21, 2004.
