HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM
Overview
The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) provides formula grants to states and localities that communities use - often in partnership with local nonprofit groups - to fund a wide range of activities including building, buying, and/or rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or homeownership or providing direct rental assistance to low-income people. HOME is the largest federal block grant to state and local governments designed exclusively to create affordable housing for low-income households. HOME funds are awarded annually as formula grants to participating jurisdictions (PJs). The program’s flexibility allows states and local governments to use HOME funds for grants, direct loans, loan guarantees or other forms of credit enhancements, or rental assistance or security deposits.

The program reinforces several important values and principles of community development:

Flexibility empowers people and communities to design and implement strategies tailored to their own needs and priorities.
Emphasis on consolidated planning expands and strengthens partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector in the development of affordable housing.
Technical assistance activities and set-aside for qualified community-based nonprofit housing groups builds the capacity of these partners.
Requirement that participating jurisdictions match 25 cents of every dollar in program funds mobilizes community resources in support of affordable housing.

he U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) oversees multiple national programs; however, it doesn't buy homes or provide mortgage financing. It sells homes that were purchased with FHA mortgages and that have been defaulted upon or foreclosed. HUD provides a listing of all such homes in its inventory on its website.

HUD residential foreclosures are available for sale throughout the U.S. But the sales process for purchasing a HUD home is somewhat more complicated than for buying a home from an individual.

What Is a HUD Home?
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is overseen by HUD. It doesn't provide mortgages; it is a federal mortgage insurance provider. The FHA guarantees that an independent lender will be paid off if a borrower defaults on their mortgage. It provides loan qualifying guidelines, but lenders are free to override them.

HUD Homes: Cost and Condition
HUD homes are appraised and then priced at fair market value. This is based partly on their location.2 The price of a home in need of repairs is adjusted downward to reflect the investment that a buyer would have to make to improve it and make it habitable.

How to Find HUD Homes

The HUD Homebuying Process
HUD foreclosures are sold through a bidding process. You must hire a licensed real estate agent to assist you with this. There's an offer period during which sealed bids are accepted. All offers submitted are opened at the end of this period; HUD usually accepts the highest bid or the bid that brings them the highest net.

LOL -- "3 hots and a cot." I wish that had happened to the scam artists who got my home by posing as mortgage processors who got in early on the Fed Reserve Refi program. They took every last dime and then sold my mortgage. The 5 attorneys I worked with over the years assured me that everything was good. Now I'm 65 and have only SSDI. I've worked and saved since I was 14. And now this. Nowhere to go. Scared.
