In addition to reauthorizing the program, the bill includes provisions to improve accountability and oversight of the HOME Program. It requires grantees to report on the impact of their affordable housing activities, as well as undergo regular monitoring and compliance reviews to ensure that funds are being used effectively and efficiently.
Overall, the goal of Bill 119 HR 2031 is to continue supporting the development of affordable housing for low-income individuals and families across the United States through the reauthorization and strengthening of the HOME Investment Partnerships Program.
