HOME Consortium

Mission and Responsibilities

The Barnstable County HOME Consortium (BCHC) is comprised of 15 communities on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.  The 15 communities are Barnstable, Bourne, Brewster, Chatham, Dennis, Eastham, Falmouth, Harwich, Mashpee, Orleans, Provincetown, Sandwich, Truro, Wellfleet, and Yarmouth.

The BCHC was formed to be a Participating Jurisdiction to receive and disburse HOME funds. In 2015, Barnstable County designated the Department of Human Services to act as the program’s lead agent, responsible to HUD for all administrative functions related to the operation of the BCHC.

As established by County ordinance in 1992, the HOME Consortium Advisory Council consists of seventeen members: one representative from each town and two at-large members.

The HOME Consortium Advisory Committee meets on the Second Thursday of each month at 8:30AM.
