The HOME Program is a HUD-funded housing activity. The intent of the HOME Program is to provide decent affordable housing to lower-income households, to expand the capacity of non-profit housing providers, to strengthen the ability of state and local governments to provide housing, and to leverage private sector participation. Funded agencies may offer subsidies for first-time home buyers or reduced rental rates for qualified tenants.
The Scottsdale City Council has approved funding the following agencies for FY 2008/09.
