Administrator of Federal Housing Programs

The Tennessee Housing Development Agency is tasked with administering a number of housing related federal programs for the state of Tennessee.

HOME Investment Partnership Program
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides grants to states under the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME). THDA administers grant rounds using these funds for activities such as homeowner rehab, homeownership and rental development.

HOME ARP
The HOME American Rescue Plan (ARP) program was funded by HUD following the COVID-19 pandemic to assist those who are homeless, at risk of becoming homeless, or other vulnerable populations.

The purpose of the program is to provide eviction prevention assistance to eligible tenants to help prevent evictions and keep households that rent stably housed.

Energy Assistance Programs 

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) funds the Weatherization Assistance Program administered by THDA. This program is designed to assist low-income households in reducing their fuel costs and to contribute to national energy conservation through increased energy efficiency and consumer education.

The Department of Health and Human Services funds the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) administered by THDA. This program is designed to assist eligible low-income households with meeting their immediate home energy needs.
