24 C.F.R. § 92.105
§ 92.105 Designation as a participating jurisdiction. (24 CFR Part 92)
Operative Text
When a jurisdiction has complied with the requirements of §§ 92.102 through 92.104 and HUD has approved the jurisdiction's consolidated plan in accordance with 24 CFR part 91, HUD will designate the jurisdiction as a participating jurisdiction.
Under 24 CFR Part 92 § 92.105, a jurisdiction earns the formal status of 'participating jurisdiction' once it has satisfied the procedural and substantive requirements set out in §§ 92.102 through 92.104 and has received HUD approval of its consolidated plan under 24 CFR part 91. This designation is the gateway that allows a jurisdiction to access HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds. The rule establishes a sequential, approval-based process rather than an automatic or self-executing one.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and developers seeking HOME Program funding should be aware that § 92.105 governs whether the local government they are working with has achieved participating jurisdiction status. Compliant operators typically verify that their city or county holds this HUD designation before structuring financing or affordability commitments that depend on HOME dollars. Understanding this threshold requirement helps operators anticipate whether a proposed project's funding source is actually available at the local level.

For tenants living in housing that was developed or rehabilitated with HOME Program funds, § 92.105 is relevant because it confirms whether the local government administering those funds was properly designated as a participating jurisdiction by HUD. If questions arise about the legitimacy of HOME-funded affordability requirements in a unit, tenants can check with their local housing or community development office to confirm the jurisdiction's status. Tenant-rights organizations and HUD's regional offices can also help tenants understand how this designation affects the protections and affordability restrictions tied to their housing.
