24 C.F.R. § 92.200
§ 92.200 Private-public partnership. (24 CFR Part 92)
Operative Text
Each participating jurisdiction must make all reasonable efforts to maximize participation by the private sector in accordance with section 221 of the Act.
Under 24 CFR Part 92 § 92.200, every jurisdiction that participates in the HOME Investment Partnerships Program is required to make all reasonable efforts to bring private-sector actors into the program's housing activities. This rule reflects a statutory directive from section 221 of the National Affordable Housing Act to leverage private involvement alongside public funding. The provision sets an affirmative standard of effort rather than a fixed numerical requirement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 92.200, private developers, investors, and property owners are envisioned as active partners in HOME-funded housing projects, and participating jurisdictions are expected to actively seek that involvement. Compliant operators in this space typically engage with their local or state HOME program administrators to understand how private-sector participation is being solicited and structured. Staying informed about a jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan and HOME program notices can help private-sector actors identify partnership opportunities as they arise.

Section 92.200 shapes how HOME program funds flow into a community by requiring jurisdictions to pursue private-sector involvement, which can affect the supply and character of affordable housing available to renters. Tenants who believe a jurisdiction is failing to administer its HOME program in accordance with federal requirements, including this provision, may have recourse through HUD's complaint processes or through local tenant-rights organizations familiar with HOME program oversight. Understanding how § 92.200 fits into the broader HOME framework can be a useful starting point when seeking information from a housing counselor or legal aid organization.
