HOME Reform Act of 2025
The HOME Reform Act of 2025 updates the HOME Investment Partnerships Program to improve affordable housing access. It redefines eligibility by requiring household income to not exceed 100% of the area median family income (replacing vague "low-income" terms), expands infrastructure funding for nonentitlement areas to support housing-related utilities, and adds new definitions for "infill housing projects" (e.g., projects on previously disturbed land within developed areas). Key provisions include exceptions for military members and heirs of deceased homeowners to maintain affordability, streamlined environmental reviews for certain projects, and removal of a 24-month deadline for unused funds. The bill directly affects low-income families, housing developers, and local jurisdictions administering HOME funds.
