NYS HOME Program - Homeowner Rehabilitation / Home Improvement components

How it works

The New York State HOME Program is administered by the Housing Trust Fund Corporation and uses federally allocated HOME Investment Partnership Program funds. The state says HOME funds may be used for acquisition, rehabilitation, and construction, including homeowner rehabilitation, homebuyer down payment assistance, manufactured home replacement, and tenant-based rental assistance.

What the money covers

On the state page, the covered homeowner-related uses include rehabilitation and manufactured home replacement. The page does not provide a home-hardening-specific item list on the main overview page.

Amounts and matching

The overview page does not state a maximum homeowner award amount.

How to apply

The page says eligible partners can submit a project summary and preliminary budget to HOMEprogram@hcr.ny.gov for consideration. The funding-round materials also show that certain rounds are open and list deadlines, but homeowner access is typically through participating local partners rather than direct homeowner applications.

Timing and deadlines

The state page shows current funding-round materials and an open 2026 local funding round with a deadline of September 17, 2026 for local applicants, and a separate homebuyer development round opening May 1, 2026 and closing October 30, 2026. Those are partner-facing dates, not direct homeowner deadlines.
