HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)

Georgia DCA awards Housing Tax Credits to qualified development teams. Over the last three decades, the Housing Tax Credit has become the most successful affordable rental housing production program in history. The program produces rental housing for households with incomes between 20% Area Median Income (AMI) and 80% AMI.

Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) are nonprofits that meet the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements regarding board composition and community housing development activities.  CHDO multifamily rental housing developers are eligible for HOME set asides during the tax credit application round.

The Community HOME Investment Program (CHIP) is a DCA program that grants HOME funds to local governments, nonprofits, and public housing authorities during an annual competitive grant application process. CHIP funds can be used to develop single family homes for sale to eligible homebuyers and to provide owner-occupied housing rehabilitation.

The State of Georgia received $87 milllion in federal funds through the HOME American Rescue Plan (ARP) to assist individuals or households who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, and other vulnerable populations, by providing housing, rental assistance, supportive services, and non-congregate shelter, to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability.
