A CHDO may obtain funding from a PJ in several different ways. CHDOs may:

	Serve as owners, developers, and sponsors of projects undertaken with funds from a PJ’s required 15 percent set-aside for CHDOs.
	Receive special assistance, such as predevelopment loans, technical assistance or operating funds, from a PJ that is not available to other types of organizations.
	Perform certain services as contractors to PJs.
	Contract with PJs in the same ways as other nonprofit subrecipients.

This topic first explains the 15 percent set-aside for CHDOs, then discusses the issue of "set-aside recapture." In addition, this topic provides an in-depth discussion of the various CHDO roles when undertaking HOME-eligible activities with the set-aside funds under the HOME Program.
