HOME Reform Act of 2025
The HOME Reform Act of 2025 updates the HOME Investment Partnerships program by changing eligibility criteria for affordable housing assistance. It replaces "low-income" with a specific definition requiring household income not to exceed 100% of the area median family income, and creates a new definition for "infill housing projects" that must be on previously disturbed land within developed areas. The bill allows funds to be used for infrastructure improvements like water and sewer lines adjacent to affordable housing, and streamlines environmental reviews for certain housing projects to reduce bureaucratic delays. These changes affect local governments and housing organizations administering the HOME program, making it easier to develop affordable housing in existing neighborhoods.
