24 C.F.R. § 92.103
§ 92.103 Notification of intent to participate. (24 CFR Part 92)
Operative Text
(a) Not later than 30 days after receiving notice of its formula allocation amount, a jurisdiction must notify HUD in writing of its intention to become a participating jurisdiction. (b) A unit of general local government that has a formula allocation of less than $750,000, or less than $500,000 in fiscal years in which Congress appropriates less than $1.5 billion for this part, must submit, with its notice, one or more of the following, as appropriate, as evidence that it has met the threshold allocation requirements in § 92.102(b): (1) Authorization from the State to transfer a portion of its allocation to the unit of general local government; (2) A letter from the governor or designee indicating that the required funds have been approved and budgeted for the unit of general local government; (3) A letter from the chief executive officer of the unit of general local government indicating that the required funds have been approved and budgeted.
Section 92.103 of 24 CFR Part 92 establishes a procedural requirement for jurisdictions seeking to participate in the HOME Investment Partnerships Program. A jurisdiction has no more than 30 days after learning its formula allocation amount to formally notify HUD in writing of its intent to participate. Smaller units of local government whose formula allocations fall below certain dollar thresholds — $750,000 generally, or $500,000 in lower-appropriation years — must accompany that notice with specific documentary evidence showing they have met the threshold allocation requirements outlined in § 92.102(b), such as state authorization letters or budget approvals from a governor or chief executive.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and developers who work with HOME Program funds should understand that the availability of those funds in a given jurisdiction depends on whether that jurisdiction has properly completed the notification process under § 92.103. Compliant participating jurisdictions will have submitted timely written notice to HUD and, where applicable, provided the required supporting documentation demonstrating threshold allocation eligibility. Operators pursuing HOME-assisted projects generally confirm with their local or state housing agency that the jurisdiction has achieved participating status before structuring financing around anticipated HOME allocations.

Tenants living in or seeking housing assisted by HOME Program funds have an indirect interest in whether their jurisdiction has properly followed the participation procedures set out in § 92.103. A jurisdiction's failure to timely notify HUD or to submit required threshold documentation could affect the availability of HOME-funded affordable housing in that area. Tenants with questions about whether their local government is a participating jurisdiction under 24 CFR Part 92 can contact their local housing authority, a HUD field office, or a tenant-rights organization for general information.
