The City of Independence initiated a Request for Proposals from non-profit developers and non-profit housing service providers for the development and/or preservation of housing opportunities affordable to low- and moderate-income households utilizing 2019-20 and 2020-21 HOME Program funds.
THHFH responded to the RFP and was awarded $181,603.62 of 2019-20 HOME funds and $217,729 of 2020-21 HOME funds by Ordinance numbers 19236 and 19237, respectively. After review of available HOME funds for those years, THHFH award amount should be increased to $252,661.62 for 2019-20 and to $290,009 for 2020-21. The additional funds come from unused HOME Program funds for those years.
THHFH will continue to utilize the HOME Program funds for the construction of new single-family homes to provide affordable homebuyer opportunities to HOME eligible households in the Englewood area.
