By: Steven Molinari, Policy Analyst
April 10, 2026 — Today, HUD published a notice titled “HOME Investment Partnerships Program-Maximum Per-Unit Subsidy Limit Methodology and Amount; Notice for Comment,” which would increase the per-unit subsidy limit for the HOME program as 240 percent of the basic mortgage limitations for section 234 of the National Housing Act’s condominium housing limit for elevator-type projects.
This notice follows information included in the HOME final rule that was published in January 2025. In the final rule, it stated hat HUD will publish its methodology for determining maximum per-unit dollar limits through a publication in the Federal Register with the opportunity for comment.
Comments related to this change are due by May 11, 2026.
According to the notice, the maximum per-unit subsidy limits described in the notice are in effect and applicable to projects for which HOME funds are committed on or after the comment date.
The maximum per-unit subsidy limits are below:
| Bedrooms | 2025 Section 234 Elevator Statutory Limit | 2025 HOME Maximum Per Unit Subsidy Limit |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | $78,191 | $187,658 |
| 1 | 89,634 | 215,122 |
| 2 | 108,998 | 261,595 |
| 3 | 141,008 | 338,419 |
| 4 | 154,782 | 371,477 |
The limits are intended to be updated annually using the methodology described in the notice. Additionally, the methodology may be revised through the issuance of a future publication for comment.
