KHC HOME TBRA Policy Manual
Applicants should refer to the updated KHC HOME TBRA Policy Manual for more information on eligible TBRA activities and other details regarding the administration of a TBRA program. Over the past several years, the TBRA policies have been included in KHC's HOME/AHTF Policy Manual, which also included information about homebuyer and homeowner rehabilitation projects. The HOME TBRA policies are now provided in a separate, stand-alone document in an effort to provide better clarification of program policies and requirements.
