CDBG - Homebuilding

The Dane County Department of Human Services is soliciting applications from organizations interested in the Homebuilding project area, which involves the development of affordable new housing for low- and moderate-income residents of the Dane County Urban County Consortium. The project includes new construction of single-family homes paired with Mortgage Reduction Assistance loans for low- to moderate-income households purchasing the homes. Funding is expected to be available under the HUD-funded Home Investment Partnership (HOME) funds. The maximum amount of funding for the Homebuilding project area is approximately $140,000, and multiple projects are expected to be funded in this category. • The project aims to develop and promote affordable homeownership for low- and moderate-income residents. • Eligible applicants include public or private non-profit agencies, units of local government, Community-Based Development Organizations, and Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO). • The project must meet one of the national objectives, such as benefitting low- and moderate-income persons, aiding in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or meeting a particular urgency for which other resources are not available. • The maximum request amount per application is $140,000. • Applicants must complete the CDBG application in its entirety and electronically sign at the end of the questionnaire.
