# §92.219. Recognition of matching contribution.

- (a) **Match contribution to HOME-assisted housing.** A contribution is recognized as a matching contribution if it is made with respect to:
  - (1) A tenant who is assisted with HOME funds;
  - (2) A HOME-assisted unit;
  - (3) The portion of a project that is not HOME-assisted provided that at least 50 percent of the housing units in the project are HOME-assisted. If the match contribution to the portion of the project that is not HOME-assisted meets the affordable housing requirements of [§ 92.219(b)(2)](#b-2), the percentage requirement for HOME-assisted units does not apply; or
  - (4) The commercial space in a mixed-use project in which at least 51 percent of the floor space is residential provided that at least 50 percent of the housing units are HOME-assisted.
- (b) **Match contribution to affordable housing that is not HOME-assisted.** The following requirements apply for recognition of matching contributions made to affordable housing that is not HOME-assisted:
  - (1) **For tenant-based rental assistance that is not HOME-assisted—**
    - (i) The contribution must be made with respect to a tenant who is assisted with tenant-based rental assistance that meets the requirements of [§ 92.203](/cfr/24/92.203.md) (Income determinations) and paragraphs [(a)](/cfr/24/92.209.md?p=a), [(c)](/cfr/24/92.209.md?p=c), [(f)](/cfr/24/92.209.md?p=f), and [(i)](/cfr/24/92.209.md?p=i) of § 92.209 (Tenant-based rental assistance); and
    - (ii) The participating jurisdiction must demonstrate in writing that such assistance meets the provisions of §§ [92.203](/cfr/24/92.203.md) and [92.209](/cfr/24/92.209.md) (except [§ 92.209(e)](/cfr/24/92.209.md?p=e)).
  - (2) **For affordable housing that is not HOME-assisted—**
    - (i) The contribution must be made with respect to housing that qualifies as affordable housing under [§ 92.252](/cfr/24/92.252.md) or [§ 92.254](/cfr/24/92.254.md).
    - (ii) The participating jurisdiction must execute, with the owner of the housing (or, if the participating jurisdiction is the owner, with the manager or developer), a written agreement that imposes and enumerates all of the requirements applicable to the project, including affordability requirements in [§ 92.252](/cfr/24/92.252.md) or [§ 92.254](/cfr/24/92.254.md); tenant protection requirements in [§ 92.253](/cfr/24/92.253.md); property standards requirements in [§ 92.251](/cfr/24/92.251.md); and income determination requirements in [§ 92.203](/cfr/24/92.203.md). This written agreement must be executed before any match contributions may be made.
    - (iii) A participating jurisdiction must establish a procedure to monitor HOME match-eligible housing to ensure continued compliance with the requirements of [§ 92.203](/cfr/24/92.203.md) (Income determinations), [§ 92.252](/cfr/24/92.252.md) (Qualification as affordable housing: Rental housing), [§ 92.253](/cfr/24/92.253.md) (Tenant protections), and [§ 92.254](/cfr/24/92.254.md) (Qualification as affordable housing: Homeownership). No other HOME requirements apply.
    - (iv) The match may be in any eligible form of match except those in [§ 92.220(a)(2)](/cfr/24/92.220.md?p=a-2) (forbearance of fees), (a)(4) (on-site and off-site infrastructure), (a)(10) (direct cost of supportive services) and (a)(11) (direct costs of homebuyer counseling services).
    - (v) Match contributions to mixed-use or mixed-income projects that contain affordable housing units will be recognized only if the contribution is made to the project's affordable housing units.
