In
every part of the nation and in so many different ways, the HOME Investment
Partnerships Program (HOME) is helping create decent, safe, and affordable
housing for
low-income families. To maximize benefits to the community, HUD encourages
states and
local governments to develop their strategies in partnership with
nonprofit organizations,
corporate citizens, private lenders, and other local groups. Because
of the HOME program's
remarkable flexibility, participating states and communities can take
local conditions into
account and design strategies that best address local needs.
Special
Needs Housing and the HOME Program was produced to create a
greater understanding of special needs and provide guidance on using
HOME funds for special needs housing including single-family
homes, apartments for independent living, shared apartment living,
single room occupancy (SRO) housing, group homes, and transitional
housing. The model also provides examples of the wide variety of
ways HOME funds are being used to assist special needs housing.
