HOME Investment Partnerships Reauthorization and Improvement Act of 2025
Analysis under review: This bill has generated analysis that may be too generic or incomplete. Clause-level evidence remains available below.
Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill reauthorizes the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, a major federal affordable housing program administered by HUD. It provides $5 billion to $6 billion annually from fiscal years 2025-2029 for states and local governments to build, buy, and rehabilitate affordable housing for low-income families. The bill also creates a new federal loan guarantee program to help jurisdictions finance affordable housing development.
Who Benefits and How
State and local housing agencies gain expanded funding ($5B-$6B annually) and a new loan guarantee program that makes it easier to finance affordable housing projects. Affordable housing developers and nonprofits benefit from streamlined rules, including relaxed requirements for community housing development organizations and new provisions for community land trusts. Low-income renters and homebuyers benefit from continued and expanded affordable housing production. Small-scale landlords (4 units or fewer) receive relief from certain tenant selection requirements.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Participating jurisdictions face stronger enforcement mechanisms and potential payment reductions for noncompliance with program rules. They must also conduct on-site property inspections and publicly report results, increasing administrative burden. Property owners in the program face enhanced monitoring and compliance requirements throughout the affordability period.

- Authorizes $27.6 billion total over 5 years (FY2025-2029) for HOME program
- Creates new HOME Loan Guarantee Program to help finance affordable housing development
