Your application paperwork

HOME is the largest federal block grant for affordable housing. HUD sends the money to states and local governments (participating jurisdictions), which use part of it to help low-income owner-occupants repair, rehabilitate, or reconstruct their homes. There is no single national form; you apply through your state or local participating jurisdiction, which sets the rules and whether help comes as a grant or a loan.

Steps to apply

  1. Contact your state or local housing or community development agency and ask whether it runs a HOME-funded homeowner rehabilitation program.
  2. Confirm you qualify: you are low-income and own and occupy the home as your principal residence.
  3. Get the local program's application and complete it with your income, ownership, and project details.
  4. The local program inspects the home and arranges the approved rehabilitation.

  • Proof you own and occupy the home as your principal residence.
  • Proof of household income (HOME serves low-income households).
  • A government-issued photo ID.
  • A description of the repairs needed, plus contractor estimates if the local program asks for them.
