About the HOME Investment Partnerships Program 
The City of Charlottesville is proud to partner with the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban (“HUD”) and the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission (“TJPDC”) to provide financial and other programmatic supports to a wide array of community-benefit organizations that help nurture healthy and vibrant communities, with a special emphasis on affordable housing activities designed to support high-quality housing and living environments as well as to increase the availability of high-quality homeownership and rental opportunities for income-qualified LMI persons. 

The City of Charlottesville works closely with TJPDC and the staff of five neighboring counties (Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson) through a regional partnership known as the Thomas Jefferson HOME Consortium.
