The HOME Investment Partnership Program provides funding to private and not-for-profit developers to develop affordable housing in Dutchess County.  The County's approach to providing HOME funds is to provide the "gap" financing necessary to make projects affordable under the HOME rental/purchase and income guidelines.   Activities that may be eligible to receive funding include rehabilitation, conversion of an existing structure, reconstruction, and new construction.
