Current Martin County Programs
The HOME Investment Partnerships Program is a Martin County sponsored program to provide qualified residents with rental assistance in order for them to afford their monthly rent. Assistance will be made available as funding is made available and could be terminated at any time, if a participant is deemed to no longer be eligible and/or if funding is exhausted.
Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) is a rental subsidy used to help individual households afford rental housing costs. Martin County’s HOME TBRA assistance may be made available to the following applicants:
- Residents of Martin County who are age 62 or older at the time of application, whose households income does not exceed 60% of the Area Median Income:
- 1 Person = $35,580
- 2 People = $40,680
- 3 People = $45,780
- 4 People = $50,820
Applicants who are approved for the HOME TBRA program will be required to contribute 30% of their monthly income or $150, whichever is greater, toward their monthly rent. Approved applicants’ rental unit must be located in Martin County. Perspective tenants may not rent property from family members.
