The City of Las Cruces provides annual grant
assistance through HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)
entitlement funds received from the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) as a part of the continuing objective to assist
low- and moderate-income families and residents receive and live
in safe, decent, and affordable housing.
HOME funds are awarded to partnering agencies
on an annual competitive basis to implement activities which meet
the eligible criteria as established by HUD and the goals and
objectives as defined in the City’s Consolidated Plan.
The HOME Program Year is from July 1st through June 30th each year. The application process
starts in November and continues through a public process which
concludes with City Council approval of the recommended projects.
Non-profit Organizations are
encouraged to apply for funds to serve low-income and
moderate-income clients as defined by HUD income guidelines.
Funding priorities are for projects/activities that provide
affordable housing opportunities for first-time homebuyers,
rental housing and single-family, owner-occupied housing
development. Some of the HOME Program Partners
include: the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority, the
Housing Authority of the City of Las Cruces, Mesilla Valley
Habitat for Humanity, the Construction Trades Partnership, Inc.,
Tierra del Sol Housing Corporation, the Community Action Agency of
