Housing Division

The Housing Division, established on July 1, 1995, consolidates housing programs within the Department of Commerce into one Division. The Division includes the Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), the Section 8 Housing Program, and the Board of Housing and its programs.

The HUD HOME and Section 8 Low Income Housing Programs administered by the Housing Division are funded entirely with federal funds. The Board of Housing portion of the Housing Division is funded by proprietary (enterprise type) funds derived from an administrative charge applied to mortgages financed.
