On behalf of the State of Tennessee, the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA) has completed a draft of the State’s 2026-27 Annual Action Plan (AAP) for housing and community development in Tennessee, which is an application for funds and articulation of goals for five U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs:
- Community Development Block Grant (CDBG, administered by TN Department of Economic and Community Development)
- HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME, administered by THDA)
- Housing Trust Fund (HTF, administered by THDA)
- Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG, administered by THDA)
- Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA, administered by TN Department of Health)
