Affordable Housing Request for Proposals

Following the completion of its strategic planning process in 2007, the Foundation made a small number of multi-year grants to community-based nonprofit housing producers under its Geographically - Targeted Affordable Housing strategy. Grants support a selected group of nonprofit housing developers to increase the number of affordable housing units produced through the construction and/or rehabilitation of affordable-housing developments within certain geographic areas. These grants were renewed in 2009. 

 In 2010, the Foundation will make, through a special Request for Proposals (RFP) process, a small number of additional grants to community-based nonprofit housing organizations to increase the number of affordable housing units and to address clusters of foreclosed in neighborhoods that have been hard hit by the foreclosure crisis. Responses to the RFP have already been received and will be considered at an upcoming meeting of the board of trustees.  Any questions about this process may be directed to Angela Brown at abrown@hyamsfoundation.org or at (617) 426-5600, ext. 310.
