(HOME) Program Funding Recommendations 
Background: Each year, the City of Chandler receives federal HOME funding, administered 
by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through 
the Maricopa HOME Consortium. Eligible HOME activities include building, buying, and/or 
rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or homeownership or providing direct rental 
assistance to individuals with low- and moderate-income. HOME-funded activities 
proposed by the City are included in Maricopa County’s Consolidated Plan and Annual 
Action Plan submitted to HUD. 
FY 2023-2024 HOME funds are proposed to be allocated for new construction of the Villas 
on McQueen, that will create new affordable rental housing. An increase or decrease in 
funds available for allocation will be applied to the Villas on McQueen project. 
In compliance with HUD regulations and the Citizen Participation Plan, the City is holding a 
30-day public comment period regarding the initial HOME funding recommendations and
contingency plan. The public comment period began Friday, March 17, 2023, and ends
Monday, April 17, 2023. In addition, a public hearing was held on February 8, 2023 during
the development of the annual action plan, and a second public is scheduled for April 12,
2023, to ensure multiple opportunities for input from the community regarding the initial
HOME funding recommendations for FY 2023–2024 and contingency plan.
