The Urbana HOME Consortium consists of the City of Urbana, the City of Champaign, and Champaign County. The City of Urbana serves as the lead entity of the Urbana HOME Consortium. The Consortium was originally created to obtain federal grant funds available as part of the HOME Invesment Partnerships Program. HOME funds may be used to further affordable housing initiatives in the area, including: housing acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental rehabilitation, and tenant based rental assistance. Each Consortium member receives a prorated portion of the federal entitlement grant to be used towards their respective programs.
For more information on the Urbana HOME Consortium and the programs adopted by each member, please contact Jen Gonzalez at 384-2335.
