HOME Investment Partnerships Program: Expanding Affordable Housing in Ocean County

The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is a cornerstone of efforts to increase access to decent, safe, and affordable housing in Ocean County.

Since 1992, the program has been administered locally by the Ocean County Planning Department serving 30 municipalities. Through the Ocean County Consortium, the County receives annual funding from HUD. These are used to promote home ownership, housing rehabilitation, rental assistance, and create affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households.

Funding Highlights
  • Over $35 million in HOME funds distributed since 1992.
  • An additional $5.4 million in matching funds leveraged.
  • Over $4.8 million through the HOME-ARP program to assist homeless individuals and at-risk populations.
  • By fostering housing stability and equity, the HOME program continues to strengthen communities throughout Ocean County.
