Orange County HOME Funding Program
Each year, Orange County receives funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program. Applications for Orange County's HOME funding are accepted annually, typically during February, and are reviewed by the Orange County HOME Consortium Committee, known as the Local Government Affordable Housing Collaborative.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) provides formula grants to communities to fund a wide range of affordable housing activities including building, buying, and/or rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or ownership; providing down payment assistance to home buyers; and providing tenant-based rental assistance.

If you’re looking for an affordable apartment, The Housing Opportunity Finder can assist in the search. In addition to properties owned by nonprofit affordable housing providers, it also includes existing apartment complexes, many of which offer lower rents.
If you’re looking for affordable homeownership, the Town has compiled a list of nonprofit affordable housing providers, who not only provide housing affordability, but also ensure the property remains affordable well into the future.
