The City of Greeley has received the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development HOME Investment Partnership Program grant since 1995, when it received $500,000 to assist developers of affordable housing, the grant’s only focus. Since then, the City has received a HOME award annually. In 2020, the grant was $423,374.
Utilizing the HOME funds to leverage other funding sources (predominantly Low Income Housing Tax Credits), the City was able to add much needed affordable rental housing, including:
- Plaza del Milagro and Plaza del Sol (housing for farm laborers and migrant workers)
- Fox Run and Twin Rivers (housing for persons with disabilities)
- Meeker Commons and Stagecoach Gardens (low-income persons in general)
- Chinook Wind and La Casa Rosa (housing for seniors)
- Stephens Farm (housing for persons with Traumatic Brain Injury)
- Camfield Corner (transitional housing for families exiting the Greeley Transitional House)
- Harmony Way and Camelot (housing for persons with a mental or physical illness)
HOME funds also provided assistance to Greeley-Weld Habitat for Humanity to develop affordable homeownership units at Tieman Village, Habitat North, Crestview, and (currently) Clover Meadows subdivisions.
