FY 2003 HOME Program Funding - The Effects of the 2000 Census - Revised 11/25/2002

Since 1994, HOME Program formula allocations to participating jurisdictions (PJs) have been based upon 1990 Census data. HUD has now received the 2000 Census data that will be used as the basis for HOME allocations beginning in FY 2003. Program allocations in the past several years have increasingly failed to reflect the changing demographic characteristics and housing conditions in our communities. The use of 2000 Census data will enable us to correct this disparity.

Congress has not yet completed work on the FY 2003 HOME appropriation. However, in order to keep you informed about how this change in Census data may affect your jurisdiction as your FY 2003 planning process moves forward, HUD has prepared estimates of your FY 2003 HOME funding based upon "flat funding" (i.e., at the 2002 HOME appropriation level) and "high funding" (i.e., based upon the Senate Appropriations Committee Markup of the HOME Program's FY 2003 appropriation). Your actual FY 2003 HOME allocation will depend upon the size of the HOME appropriation determined in conference between the Senate and the House, and the number of new PJs entering the program. Please note that several individual PJs are shown as having lost 100 percent of their funding on the estimates table when in fact they are noted elsewhere on the table as joining and being funded as a consortium - a new geography for HOME allocation purposes.

HUD is required to allocate HOME funds based upon the established formula factors contained in the regulations found at 24 CFR Part 92.50 and to use the latest available Census data. A description of the formula factors and process used to calculate individual PJ HOME Program allocations has been prepared for you as well as a breakout of Census changes by formula factor for your jurisdiction (1.59 MB) and a summary of national Census trends. Finally, in the Match Reductions portion, where appropriate, HUD provides estimated HOME match reductions by PJ for fiscal distress using 2000 Census data.

The effects of the new census data on the HOME Program vary widely, and in some cases dramatically, among PJs depending upon the extent of the relative changes in demography, poverty, and housing stock conditions experienced over the past decade.
