Substantial Amendment Changes

Funding allocated to the Second Step Housing Market Rate Unit Acquisition project in the amount of $421,959 of HOME funds, including $93,670 of CHDO set aside funding, has been rescinded. 

Change in Use of Funding: Unspent HOME funding set aside for Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO) is being reallocated as undesignated HOME funds. CHDO set aside funding of $93,670 from program year 2023 is being converted.

On March 10, 2025, the Urban County Policy Board met to recommend projects through the 2025 request for application process, including contingency projects when additional funding becomes available during the program year. The following activities will receive funding: 1) Columbia Non-Profit Housing's River and Main new construction of senior housing will receive $41,153 to fully fund their request of $300,000. 2) Share's Tenant-Based Rental Assistance program will receive $17,619 to fully fund their request of $278,500. Tenant-based rental assistance programs provide rental assistance and case management services to people experiencing homelessness. The balance, $363,187, will be included in the program year 2026 application process.
