THOMAS JEFFERSON REGIONAL HOME CONSORTIUM

The Consortium was established in 1993 through a Cooperation Agreement among our six localities: the Counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, Nelson, and the City of Charlottesville. We are an entitlement Consortium for federal HOME funds to assist low income households with their housing needs.

Draft Program Year 2024 Annual Action Plan

The Thomas Jefferson HOME Consortium, administered by the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission, developed the attached Annual Action Plan for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regarding Program Year 2024, from July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025.

The HOME Consortium is made up of all members of the TJPDC, including the City of Charlottesville, and Counties of Albemarle, Greene, Fluvanna, Louisa, and Nelson. Each locality has chosen HOME subrecipients.

The Thomas Jefferson HOME Consortium, administered by the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission, regularly receives HOME funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), while the City of Charlottesville receives CDBG funding from HUD. Although funding amounts are not yet published, the Annual Action Plan has been drafted based on previous years’ amounts.

ABOUT THE CONSORTIUM

TJPDC administers the Charlottesville HOME Consortium, the first regional HOME Investment Partnership Consortium in the Commonwealth. This program provides annual entitlement funding through HUD for housing rehabilitation, down-payment assistance or new construction for qualifying households in the region. The TJPDC works with the City of Charlottesville to make required submissions to HUD:

The funding amount from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) varies year to year based on Congressional allocation. Funds are distributed locally as follows:
  • • 10% for administration and planning
  • • 15% to a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) for development of new affordable units through construction or acquisition and rehabilitation
  • • The remaining 75% is split evenly between the six localities

Each locality provides housing assistance through their designated sub-recipient. These organizations are experienced in their respective housing programs, have the endorsement of each local government and have boards comprised of local citizens.
