The Housing and Community Development Services Division administers the HOME Investment Partnership Funds, which are entitlement
monies received by Arapahoe County through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. These funds are in turn distributed to community organizations for projects that strengthen the ability of local governments
and non-profits to provide housing in Arapahoe County.
Eligible Activities
HOME funds may be used to:
- Acquire, maintain and create affordable housing for low- to moderate-income individuals in the County;
- Rehabilitate housing in Arapahoe County; or
- Assist with down payments and closing costs for first-time homebuyers.
Arapahoe County is strongly committed to affirmatively furthering fair housing through projects funded by HOME funds.
