The program is conducted by non-federal US governmental jurisdictions, such as States, cities, urban counties, and so forth, that receive an allocation of federal benefits from HUD. All U.S. States are automatically eligible for HOME funds, and each receives a minimum of $3 million for the program, while local governments receive a minimum of $500,000 (unless the United States Congress assigns $1.5 billion or less to the program, in which case they receive a minimum of $335,000). However, federal regulations require that every single government that receives funds must provide 25 cents on their own for every HOME dollar used.
