The
HOME program is implemented through State and local governments
called participating jurisdictions or "PJs". Participating
jurisdictions may be States or units of general local government,
including consortia and urban counties. HOME participating jurisdictions
have a great deal of flexibility in designing and managing their
HOME programs.
HOME
grants are awarded each year to participating jurisdictions based
on an allocation formula. States are automatically eligible for
HOME funds. However, local jurisdictions must meet a minimum allocation
threshold in order to be a participating jurisdiction. There are
over 500 participating jurisdictions. Localities which do not receive
a direct HOME allocation from HUD, may receive HOME funds through
the State's HOME program.
Local
HUD Offices work with States and units of general local government.
To find the local HUD staff who work with HOME program, contact

Directory for the FY2007 HOME program. This directory lists
units of general local government that are either metropolitan cities,
urban counties or approved HOME consortia for FY2007.
Metropolitan
Cities - Principal cities, other cities in a Metropolitan Area with
50,000 or more population and cities that retain their metropolitan
city status as a result of previously meeting the criteria as metropolitan
cities.
Urban
Counties - Counties which are in Metropolitan Areas and which have
a population of 200,000 or more, after exclusion of metropolitan
cities and counties that continue to qualify as urban counties as
a result of previously meeting the criteria as urban counties.
HOME
consortia - Geographically contiguous units of general local government
that have been approved by HUD to be a single unit of general local
government for purposes of the HOME Program. more
