HOME Community Housing Development Organization

A Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) is a private nonprofit, community-based service organization that has obtained or intends to obtain staff with the capacity to develop affordable housing for the community it serves. As a Participating Jurisdiction, the County of Riverside must set aside at least 15 percent of HOME allocations for housing development activities in which qualified CHDOs are the owners, developers and/or sponsors of the housing.

For guidance on Community Housing development Organizations under the HOME Program, see CPD Notice 97-11.
