The Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) gets HOME program funds from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the annual entitlement appropriation process. These funds can be used in a variety of ways to address urgent housing needs, including market-oriented measures that provide options such as homeownership or rental activities to help rehabilitate neighborhoods with new investment.

“Pennsylvanians should not have to choose between paying for basic necessities or needed home repairs to ensure the safety of their loved ones,” said Gov. Wolf. “The HOME program provides low-income individuals with access to the affordable, safe, and reliable housing they and their families deserve.”
